swelled feet and ankles bone marrow animia

Could bee caused by blood clots.  If you haven't talked to your dr about it recently, call.  It makes me a angry that your doc isn't concerned.  Swelling and clots happen quite frequently with cancer.  You should be seen and checked out ASAP.  Blood clots can be deadly.

Hypertrophic osteoarthropathy (HOA) is a syndrome of clubbing of the digits,

the swelling would go up and then down - so big I could not put a shoe on - clothes fit, I am thin but I had these big big swollen feet and ankles...sometimes I went "shoeless" to the doctor- just my husbands socks...

they just never heard of this -

 

Hi Levesque123,

the clubbing on my fingers and toes made them look more like the hammer on the inside of a piano.  You know the ones that hit the strings?  Anyhow, nothing like the swelling you had.  Mine was only in the pads of the fingers and toes.   What this writer has is different.  Do you still have this issue?

Swelled ankles and feet

Several weeks and still have the symptoms on the 16th I do my first pet scan after upper right lobe removal and chemo treatment see the doc for the reading wheather the cancer is gone or still there on the 20th, so I will show him my feet and wait for a answer hope he has one never had this before got it after 4th chemo treatment over the phone the ocono said it was not related my general doctor just said it was water and will take weeks to go away!!

John are you on oxygen? If not maybe you should be. I have had some clubbing on my fingers for many years. Eight years ago I had my right lung removed. Two years ago I was having swelling of the feet and ankles with a few memory problems. Went and seen my family doctor and he had me do a free at home oximeter finger test while I was sleeping. Test showed my oxygen levels were dropping pretty low in my sleep. I am now on oxygen at bedtime. I was also told clubbing of fingers or toes is a sign of heart or lung disease. Im sure I have some copd in my remaining lung also. You can buy a oximeter at walmart or walgreens for 20 or 30 dollars. They come in handy to check your oxygen levels any time you want. Dont want them getting to low for to long because it can cause stroke brain or kidney damage and more. I hope you get it figured out.
