Swelling Feet And Peeling Skin Posted: 08-04-07 04:22am
My mother has MS for quite a few years
now. She is getting infusions at this time
she is no longer on redif, but my
questions is this. What could be the cause
of her feet sweeling to the point of
discoloration and her legs are peeling her
skin looks very shinny and plastic. Is
anyone else experiencing this and if so is
there a possible diagnosis?

Here is a link I found on peripheral
edema. That is the name for the swelling
in your mom's legs. On the web page it
states that there are lots of reasons for
leg swelling. But the things I noticed
which may be relevant to your mother are
age and steroids. I know you said she was
getting infusions. But you didn't say
what the medication was. So I just guess
it might be steroids. Since we MSers get
those sometimes.
Here is the link. I hope you can find
some good information here. And I hope
your mom is doing well.
