Hi,
I am new to this board, so I have no idea if it is active, and if I will get a response, but thought I would try.
I have a combined cholesterol level of 300 and have been taking a diuretic for about 29 months for elevated blood pressure, but this is a new one on me... Right below my calf muscle, on down to above the left heel, I have developed a puffiness that almost makes the ankle look like I sprained it. This coincided with a nagging pain in the area when walking. What really ***** is that I am having a total hip replacement of the right hip in 5.5 weeks, and this pain makes any sort of exercise painful, and I need to keep my strength up for the surgery and rehab.
Any constructive input will be appreciated. I am also starting on a Red Yeast Rice/Co-Q10 regimen, for whatever that is worth.
Thanks,
Styve
