Bono Provides Expert Commentary
Insight from Nancy Bono, D.O., chair of family medicine at NYITCOM, was featured in a Parade article about edema in the lower extremities. She notes, “Gravity can pull water into the legs and feet, which is typically noticeable. For example, shoes may be tight or there could be tightness of the skin.”
She also explains that other causes of edema include pregnancy, certain medications, such as antihypertensives, anti-inflammatory drugs, and hormones, allergic reactions, and health problems, including congestive heart failure, liver disease, kidney disease, and sunburn.
