swollen feet and ankles...

[worriedbabe]

is there anything i can do to relieve the pain of swollen feet and ankles? i don't have pre eclampsia but my ankles and feet are really swollen and it hurts!!! i can't walk properly because of it and kinda look like a duck when i walk lol. just wondered if anyone had found any ways to relieve it?

Ouch! Put some cool packs on them, or get some papertowels, get them wet and stick them in the freezer for 3 minutes, then wrap them around your legs. it works well!

I have been having the same problem and I have found nothing to relieve it other than trying to keep off my feet as much as possible. I am so swollen that when you push into my feet an imprint is left for a few minutes, like putty or something, it's gross lol.
I have found that foot rubs help and they get things moving a little but obviously DF doesn't want to rub my feet 24/7 so I dont get relief very often.
I hope you find something that works for you!
