I have recently started Amlodipine (9 months ago) and it has caused awful swelling in my hands and feet. I bruised my finger at Christmas taking off my eternity ring I now cannot wear it.
My feet get so painful when walking.
I told my GP and was told put up with it, it’s reducing your blood pressure.

Amlodipine can cause swollen ankles but unlikely to be responsible for tendinitis in one foot

I just started an increased dosage of this and suddenly have awful tendonitis in my right foot. I'm pretty crippled by it. Nothing else has changed to account for this sudden painful condition.
Is it just me? Will it go away? I will contact the GP on Monday.
