There's loads of information about Evista and much can be found in the
archives. Once you read what we have there, please come back and ask
questions that will help clarify specific points for you. I'll give you
a head start. It shouldn't cause weight gain or foot swelling.

I was put on another hormone Premerin, and within a couple of weeks I gained eight pounds even though I was walking two miles a day. Also, my feet became very swollen and I had a hard time getting my shoes on.
