My feet are starting to balloon during the day. Working at a desk means keeping them elevated isn't really an option. Someone mentioned soaking them in epsom salt. Has anyone tried that? Does it work and is it safe? I will try anything. My shoe selection is getting very limited!

This. Not sexy, but it works.

one more thing, my doctor said elevation is great, but the higher above your heart, the better. So when I get home, I lie on the couch and draped my legs up on the back on the couch. i also try to get on the floor to play with my dog sometimes, so when i do, i prop my feet up high on the wall (laying on the floor, creating a L with my legs up on the wall).
She also recommended compression socks, but said to get the kind that go up above your belly. The issue is your belly and hip area, so if you have your compression socks below that, it's not going to help much...You have to compress the area that's causing the area. Sounds like wearing tights in summer...does not sound comfortable at all.
Certain restricting shoes make it worse.
Cranking down the ac.
Foot stool at work.
And limiting certain activities if its hot.
And drink a crazy amount of water
I flipped a trashcan over also and no one has said a word. Remember to lay off the sodium...snacking on junk is my big downfall at work which will cause me to swell even more depending on what I am munching on. Good luck!
