My dad has heart failure and kidney issues. His feet and legs are very, very swollen. He takes Fueresimide and also Sprioctone. as diuretics. He is immobile as he fractured his hip two years ago and now needs the metalwork taking out due to him being in pain, the screw is loose. The only time his feet get better is when he was in hospital when they put pillows under his feet, but he can't do them himself at home due to his hip pain. When they up the diuretics his salts go low, he is in a viscious circle
