foot swelling and pain

Is there anyone else who is having this problem. For the last week my right foot has been in so much pain and so swollen that my tips of my toes are curling upward. The pain seems to be in my heel only on my right foot though. Feels as if it is bruised. When walking it swells so much that I have to sit down and rest because I can't take the pain in it anymore. Also the back of my left calf feels like I have a constant Charlie horse in it. Is there anything I can do to help have already tried soaking feet and legs in Epsom salt and it had not helped.

Dr said I have bone spurs. Said that the extra weight caused it. Said to soak my feet every night. Having gestational diabetes does not help either but there is only staying off and soaking your feet will help a little. Remember ladies listen to your Dr do what they say. Hope all is well with everyone.

My feet are killing me!!! They aren't swollen at all but it hurts so badly to just walk around on them. It's only my heels that hurt too! I make my boyfriend rub my feet and legs and make sure i take lots of rests and put my feet up. I am in tears sometimes from the pain but so far my dr says its normal and probably just my tendon swelling since we could not see any outward swelling!

Try to keep your feet elevated as much as you can. Some leg stretches will help with charlie horse. My feet and hands are starting to swell up but it doesnt really bother me until i get into my shoes. :X
