<s>[INST] I m 59, female, had gallbladder removed 2 summers ago. My liver started with hep c now I have cirhosis of the liver. My edema of , lately left me swelling of my legs and feet more obvious on my left and continues. I                had a home injury which is leading to a rotary cuff repair soon. Since my last visit  about July 31  I have been swollen even a distending stomach. I don feel like eating much but I  try. Is there any comfort I should try before the clinic opens? Done. [/INST] Hello, Thanks for posting on Chat Doctor, There is not much you can do at home if you are having complications of cirrhosis (swelling of legs and abdomen/ASCIIs) besides avoiding taking in too many fluids (there is need to reduce fluid intake) and also reduce salt intake. These are potential sources of fluids and since you are suffering from body fluid retention, it is best you avoid taking more until medical intervention can be done. Taking care of your liver cirrhosis can prove to be tough, and you will have to get through a lot of treatment sessions just for temporary relief. You will have to exercise patience and acceptance of your condition. If you are having poor urination, then you might also be having an associated kidney diseases. Hope you stay well until the clinics do open. Regards </s>
