Question
My son is a Quad/c5-c6 level. 7 years injuried, 30 years old. over the past year his feet have swollen to enormous size. they look like they will bust. When i ask he says he should get his feet up more. But they look a lot more serious than that. Is there something he should be doing to keep the swelling down.

Answer
Dear Joby,  I have problems with swelling too, but not to his extent. I am including the following website for you to read. It gives some really good information you hopefully will find useful. I will keep good thoughts for him.  http://www.nlm.nih.gov/medlineplus/ency/article/003104.htm
Sincerely, Ken
