I have swollen legs too because of the intravenous steroids. They settle a little overnight and swell during the day. Other than taking diuretic tablets (which I can't do due to low potassium and low blood pressure) I haven't been given any treatment advice except compression stockings.
Well, it's over 30 degrees C here at the moment and I've decided I'll just tolerate the leg swelling.
I may just try the lemon/lime in water though...thanks for that tip. Even though I do take extra salt to increase my blood pressure so I'm not sure it will work.
It can't hurt to try.
