some drugs (NSAIDs, a statin) give me edema. the doctors and i have agreed i shouldn't try the prednisone because i'd probably have the same side effect from it.

could it be edema (fluid retention)?

the problem with fluid retention for me is it makes the inflammation worse in the long run.

just one thought,
