Darlene Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I was told by Grubb to drink lots of fluids. I drink maybe 40 ounces of fluids a day. I have mild swelling in my lower leg. Should I stop drinking fluids? or can this be a sign of dehydration? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stacdliw Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I wouldn't think swelling in the legs would be a sign of dehydration. Swelling in the legs could be a sign of edema, which could have many causes. Are you overloading on salt? Sometimes salt retention can cause swelling. If the swelling does not disappear soon, I would call Dr. Grubbs office and report this symptom and see what he suggests. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
