The hydrocodone combined with the morphine may have caused this.



I have been following this thread because recently since being discharged from the Hospital,I have experienced the same thing. 3+ pitting edema in lower extremeties. Since my Mom died of CHF secondary to CVA,I have been very concerned.

I was on Morphine IV, 5migs q4, for 4 days. Once discharged,the next day I began my opiate therapy,and that night noticed the beginning of distal edema around the ankles which progressed to lower calf/feet within a 24 hr period. I had begun some new medication,yet after research,found this
should not be the cause. The edema lasted for approximately 7-8 days,then,Poof~was gone,not to return as yet.

Actonbell,I would like to thank you for submitting your knowledge to Toes thread. As soon as I read your post,a light went off in this old brain,and now I understand why I had edema. Thank You!

Toe,I cannot add any insight to the info posted already,so please excuse me for butting in. Personally, I would trust this posters data(Actonbell) as she certainly knows medicine.
J.
