Has anyones Suboxone caused them edema? My left leg is greatly swollen and my Doctor has pretty much given up. I have had a ultra sound, mri, and blood work done and nothing has shown up. My addiction specialist has re
centely changed me from suboxone to subutex 8 mg x2 daily. I'm in constant pain.Does anybody have any ideas? I am looking for a new Dr. that will take my insurance.
Thanks,Girly
You can go to the ER and ask for a shot of Toradol. That works so well. Wish there was more i could tell you. Someone else is bound to come along with some words of wisdom.

Thumper, yes I do have high blood pressure that is controlled by medicine. I have also taken Bumex and Lasiks (sp).My leg does pit all the way from my foot to my knee. This has been going on for about 3 months and the Dr. has never said anything about congestive heart faliure.

Phlebitis Symptoms
Superficial phlebitis
There is usually a slow onset of a tender red area along the superficial veins on the skin. A long, thin red area may be seen as the inflammation follows a superficial vein.
This area may feel hard, warm, and tender. The skin around the vein may be itchy and swollen.
The area may begin to throb or burn.
Symptoms may be worse when the leg is lowered, especially when first getting out of bed in the morning.
A low-grade fever may occur.
Sometimes phlebitis may occur where a peripheral intravenous line was started. The surrounding area may be sore and tender along the vein.
If an infection is present, symptoms may include redness, fever, pain, swelling, or breakdown of the skin.
Deep vein phlebitis
This can be similar in presentation to superficial phlebitis, but some people may have no symptoms.
One may have pain and swelling throughout the entire limb. For example, one side of the lower leg may swell for no apparent reason.
Some people also get fever from a superimposed bacterial infection and skin discoloration and/or ulcers if the condition becomes chronic and inadequately treated earlier.

Definition of Phlebitis
Phlebitis: Inflammation of a vein. With phlebitis, there is infiltration of the walls of the vein and, usually, the formation of a clot (thrombus) in the vein (thrombophlebitis). Phlebitis in a leg, for example, will cause the leg to swell with edema fluid and feel stiff and painful.

ABOUT EDEMA..........
What is edema?
Edema is an observable swelling from fluid accumulation in certain body tissues. Edema most commonly occurs in the feet and legs, where it also is referred to as peripheral edema. The swelling is the result of the accumulation of excess fluid under the skin in the spaces within the tissues that are outside of the blood vessels. These spaces are known as interstitial spaces or compartments. Most of the body's fluids that are found outside of the cells are normally stored in two spaces; the blood vessels (where the fluids are called the blood volume) and the interstitial spaces (where the fluids are called the interstitial fluid). In various diseases, excess fluid can accumulate in either one or both of these compartments.
The body's organs also have areas between cells (interstitial spaces) where fluid can accumulate. For example, an accumulation of fluid in the interstitial air spaces (alveoli) in the lungs occurs in heart failure and is called pulmonary edema. In addition, excess fluid sometimes collects in what has been called the third space, which includes cavities in the abdomen (abdominal or peritoneal cavity) or in the chest (lung or pleural cavity). The term anasarca refers to the severe, widespread accumulation of fluid in the various tissues and cavities of the body.
