Answer 1

When you start taking a diuretic (water pill), you urinate more than usual only for the first few days at most. After that, your body reaches a new equilibrium and you urinate about the same amount as always.

If your ankles are still swollen to the same degree as before, this might be an indication that bumetanide is not working sufficiently. You need to discuss this with your doctor.
