                        Last week my legs and feet started to swell for some unknown reason.  The skin was so tight they looked like they could burst.  I went to my doctor and since I wasn't having chest pains and my blood pressure was fine, she put me on a water pill.  One a day, then use as needed.  It has helped and the swelling went down after two days.  I've had back problems with a herniated disk since December.  Would this cause the swelling?  I haven't had a problem with it until recently.  I'm taking water therapy for my back and walking on a treadmill.
