Suboxone causing edema?

Question

This is the second time I've gone on Suboxone, and now it is the second time I have developed really bad edema from it in my legs--my toes hurt to move.

When it happened last time neither my psychiatrist nor my primary care physican knew what the deal was, but my new psych said she had another patient with the same thing and when I googled it I see that it does occur, but I can't figure out why.

This last time, I don't think it happened until I missed a day, I don't remember the circumstances of the last time but it might have been when I was going off it as well.  That time my PCP prescribed water pills which I tok for about a month and helped it.  I haven't had it happened again until now.

How common is this and why does it happen?  Can it be helped?

The edema results when one has allowed oneself to fall into poor physical fitness conditions through lack of exercise, eating unhealthy foods, relying on medicines to cure what one has achieved through mis-use of one's body.  This is very common in patients who have allowed unethical practioners to prey financially on the person by assuring them that medicine and psychiatry are the only cures, especially when they know that they could lose your pelf if you were to suddenly "smarten up" and see the light by embarking on a carefully structured program of rehabilitative exercise and physical conditioning.    But it is all in your hands; you can continue on this self-destructive route or take your self in hand and work free of medication and mind-twisting therapies that only bind you closer to your "Rasputins", by enlisting in a good program of exercise and healthy diets.  
YES! It can be helped by ONLY by YOU.
