Swollen legs that really hurt

I've heard of ankles and feet being swollen but not the legs. My legs are so freaking swollen it's crazy. And on top of that they hurt. My feet and ankles are swollen too but they don't hurt. And I've noticed lately that my feet are really funky. I never had a problem with funky feet before. Just got some shoes three days ago and today I've noticed that they stink. I know that my feet sweats a lot more too. Is there anything i can use for the pain in my swollen legs I've read that i can't use icy hot

Try some peppermint essential oil massage on your legs,  feels great and soothes.  Also rubbing a bit of peppermint oil with lotion on your feet to help soothe through out the day.  And a little bag of baking soda in your shoes to absorb the odor.  Hope that helps mama.
