Get at least 2 or 3 more second opinions on her condition. I wouldn't wait around for one doctor if anyone in my family or acquaintance was suffering.

My mother has this problem and some swelling of her feet. The doctor did a diabetes test, she hasn't heard from them so she's assuming it's not that. I suspect she has neuropathy. The doctor also said it is nerve damage in her feet. He put her on some medication, called nuerotonin, or something like that, or its generic, which makes her feet swell!! Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!!
