    If you wear compression socks it helps, and they are super sexy to boot lol.  Really, other than resting, propping feet up, and compression socks, I don't think there is much you can do.

    drink more water (even though it seems counter-intuitive)

    The compression socks really helped me.

    Compression socks. You can buy them now where they look like regular trouser socks. My swelling is pretty much gone. I'm glad I had a huge stash of them because they are not inexpensive.

    The only thing that has worked for me so far is drinking a TON of water. I have to pee every 20 mins, but, at least I can see my ankle bones again!!

    Thank you SOOOO much for posting. I'm having the same problem and am going to attempt a bath since I haven't tried that one. I think a busy Thanksgiving and a crazy Black Friday was just too much for my legs and feet.

    Oh and a massage from DH with feet propped up seemed like it helped a little.
