But my legs are swollen , they did say that my ankles may swell, but all my lower legs are swollen. my socks leave a line that casues bruising and then i get cappliarries that cause them as well . I have tiny red spots all over my lower legs and my knees are bright red.. they say all this is normal. don't know how much longer i can put up with it as my arthritis is bad enough in my legs without this as well. can anyone tell me if they have had this sort of reaction or not whilst on it. and does it get any better? thanks Weetabix

Ireally cab't put up with it the backs of my kness are very swollen . i have a sort of lump at the back of my knee. I have had it for years and its making this lump swell more and my walking is suffering more than ever now. they know that i am on other meds. they even said that the indomethacin makes the BP meds work less. But the I read somewhere that the indomethacin maybe to blame for the High Bp.. So I will haave to see what she says. also my legs around my socks are getting very itchy too. weetabix
