swelling/water retention - concern?
I have recently begun noticing that I am having a problem with swelling; mainly of the legs/feet and in my arms (wrists). I am not sure exactly why, but think it may be due to one of the new medications I am taking. I don't know if it is cause to notify my neuro or not. 
I recently began taking Ampyra and Betaseron. I also have two different prescription NSAIDs that I take; one being new. I've had a prescription strength Ibuprofen for a long time, but I also have a prescription for Indomethicin (for migraines).
Does anyone know if these, or the combination of these, are contributing to the swelling? Of course, it is more noticeable and bothersome when I am on my feet for a long time, or when I am in a long car ride (like our two day drive to get here on vacation). Do you think it is cause for concern; enough to contact my neuro before we return or after?
NOTE: I am currently on my period this week (sorry, any guys on here). That also may contribute, of course. However, the swelling began over a week ago.
