My Ankles Hurt!

And I know I can't possibly be the only one. I don't even have ankle bones anymore. =( What remedies are you ladies using to take down the swelling? Anything other than putting them up and icing them? That's all I've been able to think of.

Re: My Ankles Hurt!

  • We are due on the same day and I feel the same way.  I just have been propping my feet up at night when I sleep.  In the morning they are fine and then by the end of the day I look like I have two broken ankles!

  • As soon as I get to work, I take my shoes off and prop my feet up on the trash can under my desk (flipped upside down.) Works for me!
  • Watch your salt/sodium intake, drink LOTS of water (L&D nurse said 12 cups a day - WTH!?) and keep them propped up as much as you can. I don't know if it helps with the swelling, but my feet sure do feel better when DH rubs them - sometimes he'll rub my whole calf too.
