Swollen feet/ankles

[Liske]

Last few days have been quite hot here and Friday i had to stand up a lot: in the evening my ankles and feet were really swollen. The swelling went away during the night, yesterday no problems. Today i had to sit proper on a hard chair/stand walk, and now again my feet and ankles are like balloons, my toes are a bit numb too...

Does anyone have tips to keep your feet from swelling (or make it less badly atleast) when i can't put my feet up?
And tips on how to make the swelling go away? I've been feet up for a while now and especially my right foot still looks horrible :(

Yes thats right drink extra water, try to keep them cool & comfy, put them up wen u can & be careful shoes arent 2 tight or uncomfortable. My feet hv went up 2 sizes & dont even fit in my trainers last few days from heat so iv bn reasearching. Hubby bought me some cooling foot & leg moisturiser which is ment to help only trying it now but feet defo feel better & not as stretched/itchy so good luck x

My doc said contrary to belief, when you swell, you need to intake more water. This fluid retention will be ultimately flushed out by the increase in water intake. Best wishes! :-)
