feet problems

I am not diabetic and am on in center hemo. My left leg swells all the time and, even if they take so much off that I get cramps, it comes right back.
I control fluid intate and my weight is usually about the same when I weigh-in for treatment. Has anyone else had this problem?
Also my feet hurt like the devil after each dialysis session.

DEAR A.D., I'm on peritoneal dialysis and my feet hurt most of the time, especially early in the morning and again in the evening. Hoping to get ideas from others also. VERA

My left leg is always swollen, especially compared to my right one ! I was told that the side nearest the heart takes the longest to get the fluid off. Dont forget even though you do dialysis , there is still a lot of fluid in tissues that it doesnt get to.

I was told that too. My legs and my back also get sore from sitting so long in the chair. I started doing step exercises against the foot rest. It seems to help.

My left leg is bigger than my right, and my left arm is also larger. It's a bloody wonder I don't fall over.

I have a low-level ache in my feet all the time. On a scale from 1 to 10, it's about a 3. But walking or climbing stairs soon boosts that to a 6.
Another reason for this is the damage that high parathyroid hormone (PTH) does to our bones. PTH should be brought under tight control as soon as possible to save what's left of our bone structure.
