Hi Brenda.... Please keep in mind that while perhaps swollen feet as the ONLY symtom might -MIGHT - not mean anything that serious, but add that swelling to any one (or more) of other symptoms, and there might just be an indicator of something ELSE - something NOT as easily dismissed, such as heart trouble (which ain't to be sneezed at!), or some other equally distressful condition. Also, while hte Kaiser Healthwise bok IS informative, its' sole purpose it cause the KAiser Members to consult the BOOK rather than SEE a DOCTOR in person! The BOOK means an overall money saver to Kaiser (and I'm a Kaiser member and DO appreciate sucsh aids as the book, 'cause what I DON'T need is ANTHER doctor visit) By the way.... anyother Kaiser feature that is now gone, due to the overall expense, that I sure appreciated is the apothacary jar that every Kaiser office (at least in the WOodland Hills, Calif. facility) filled with lollipops!!!

Good answers. However, I still don't know why that symptom might be considered "undesirable". Can somebody enlighten me? >> >> Ann Gibbons cg Joe 65/2.5
