I have had a problem with water retention for a while now and I am taking lasix 40 mlg. daily. But the last 2 months it isn't helpig anymore and my feet are huge, they hurt, they burn, and they itch They are also starting to change colors, they are now a light red colr. If I push in them it leaves a white indent or about a minute or so. I have also gained about 20 lbs in the last couple of moths. I am in alot of pain so how do I get the swelling to go down?

See Your Doctor!

I hope you have seen your doctor since you posted this in September! When skin tone changes color in extremites then there is a circulation issue and poor circulation unattended to can lead major medical problems with the worst case being amputation. If you have not seen your doctor, see him right away!
