Go google and type in ---potassium and fluid retention---
the first site up states ---it may also benefit heart health (9)
potassium appears to help reduce water retention in two ways, by decreasing sodium levels and increasing u*ine production (10)
bananas , avocados, and tomatoes are examples of foods high in potassium
there are numerous sites that deal with water retention and the affects of potassium
as for your husbands condition, it would be far better to discuss the ongoing swollen knee and ankle and to ask if the potassium would help reduce the condition or would other procedures such as icing the knee when it is hot help reduce the swelling
I mention this because following a knee replacement, there is a lot of swelling in the knee and the specialist demanded an ice pack be used to reduce the heat ( the area around the knee gets hot during the healing process) and reduce the swelling

I am sorry all I ask is what causes a bakers cyst and really it doesn’t give you any real answer at all

A bakers cyst is caused when excess joint fluid is pushed into one of the small sacs of tissue behind the knee. When this sac fills with fluid and bulges out, it is called a cyst. The excess fluid is usually caused by conditions such as arthritis that irritate the knee. It may also be caused by an injury.

What is a cure for osteoarthitis in the knee?

Try the Mayo Clinic site or WebMD for proper information. There is prevention, treatment, or joint replacement. There are physical devices that may offer some relief, such as braces. Cures are snake oil. And the FDA does not test the claims of supplements, rather simply measures amounts of ingredients. Even when there is a mention of an ingredient that has been properly tested, you cannot depend upon the supplement provider to be giving you information about the proper dosage to achieve an effect.

What is entailed in changing out ignition switch ?

Hi, the switch is on the column below the knee panel. You need to remove the knee panel and maybe loosen the column from the dash to get sufficient access to the switch. The switch has 2 connectors on it. Remove the smaller one first--it has 2 tabs holding it. Then remove the larger one. The switch is held on by 2 (5/16") screws on the left side of the column. The actuator rod is stuck into the side of the switch. Pull the switch off the rod and reverse procedure to install new switch. Please let me know if you have any questions, and thanks for using Fixya.

Directionals inside and out are not working

Might want to start with the connector for the MFS ( MultiFunction Switch ) behind the knee panel.
There is a 16 pin connector that will some times pull apart. Quick test ( that is about 70% effective ) prior to removing the knee panel is to tilte the wheel all the way up, and test the directionals / stop lamps again.
If this cured the problem, the 16 pin connector is pulling apart, and need to be taken apart checked for discolored pins, put back together ( check that the plastic tab is not broken ) and pull up a slight bit of slack from the truck side of the harness, and wire tie to the knee panel frame.
