I feel your pain. Having the same issues when I am on my feet all day and it's hot. I've been putting my feet up and propping them up on pillows so they are elevated above my heart and that seems to get them back to normal. I've heard ice packs helps too. Feel better.........I know it stinks!!! Chat Icon Chat Icon

Re: PLEASE HELP!! I am so swollen that I have

i have the same thing. my doctor said it's normal. he also said that raising my feet won't do anything unless i'm in a reclining position--but i don't have a recliner.

he told me to lay slightly on my left side with my feet elevated.

unfortunately that doesn't work for me--nothing does except staying on the couch all day. cutting out salt also didn't help me.

ice packs made them feel better, but didn't make the swelling go away.

good luck--i feel your pain! Chat Icon
