With personal experience, I found that fentanyl can cause extreme and painful swelling in the legs and feet -especially if is fentanyl citrate, the lozenge-on-a-stick formulation.
As with the other meds, i vaguely recall one or two of them that don't really help.
If you haven't been to the ER already,
you will (probably) be told to keep your legs elevated.
If you have had no other response regarding this problem, CALL THE DOC
RIGHT AWAY. Prolonged swelling is bad for all of your organs. Good Luck!

It is the olanzapine most likely. If you are not a psych patient then there is no need for this med. It has alot of side-effects, and is not helpful for spinal-cord injury in any way.
