Abe Lieberman MD at NPF suggests: "be certain you engage in a repetitive exercise such as riding a stationary bicycle for 15 minutes twice a day it helps with the swelling".

I take img. of mirapex 4 times a day. my right leg(affected side) sweels and blood wont cirrculate unless it is elevated. the ankle has red patches that never go away even with massage.M.D. thinks its because i am in wheelchair, onlt the left leg does not swell and i cant walk on it either i am also diabetic and have neuropathy in both legs and feet. Any suggestions besides keep my right leg elevated forever? can't understand why the left leg does not swell if its from being in a wheelchair. thank you, Patricia Hewitt
