Swollen legs on reta?

[sunnygirl]

I’ve noticed that my feet have been slightly more swollen since I started taking retatrutide, 0.5 mg. Nothing too concerning, but socks that never used to leave marks around my ankles now do deeper than before.

I’ve tried looking for information about leg swelling while taking GLP-1 medications, but everything seems pretty contradictory. Some sources say it’s not a normal side effect, while others say it can happen.

Has anyone else experienced swelling or is currently dealing with swollen feet or legs while taking retatrutide?

Interesting, everyone in my group taking it has had their inflammation go down.

Are you less active with the caloric deficit? Moving around more should keep the lymph moving.

Yes! I just noticed the other day I had some swelling in my legs for the first time. Im a pretty active person and on my feet for 10-12 hours per day. I cant quite pin it on the reta yet. Going to try a couple different things to see if I can figure out what's causing it.

Swollen feet/ankles is not a known side effect and the dose is very low to be doing much at all. I would wonder if it is unrelated. Depending on age and overall health it might be worth a medical opinion. It is more common in women, and with varicose veins, and with age , and with prolonged standing at work, but there are less harmless causes as well.

I get pretty bad foot/ankle swelling with allergies. I'm allergic to everything where I live because of course I am. It comes and goes. Maybe a possibility?

No swelling here. Swelling is blood pooling in tissue around ankles, not pulled up by the hearth. Google the possible causes. Need to drink more water on GLP1. Blood thicker than usual? Get medical checkup. The conditions I got in past two years (dry eyes, NAION, kidney stones, etc) could be related to getting older. Unable to prove any was glp1. Read up on ABI test to check Ankle Brachial Index, to measure blood pressure difference between your ankles and your arms.
