My BP has increased 20 points since my surgery date is getting closer. Also, I have only slight pulses in my feet and my left ankle is swollen after being on it a little while. It's OK when I first wake up, but not later on. These feet and ankle problems have been for years, but not my blood pressure. I'm thinking I can try some more cortisone shots for a while. I am praying for an answer. I don't want this surgery to kill me before I do it! I even lost 12 pounds. My BP shouldn't be up. Has to be stress.
