Constant unusual leg swelling
Hi, I've been having an issue lately with my ankles, feet and legs swelling to the point they cause extreme pain to move or bend. It first started when I took two medicines called Zyprexa and Trintellix. I've since stopped both but the swelling has continued and gotten worse.
