I need to be putting my feet up more at work and maybe avoiding salt a little more. My legs are blowing up like a balloon!

    Haha, no the cankles are no laughing matter but the title of the post is!  Feet up, point, flex, rotate and and plenty of water young lady.

    Let your doctor know! Especially if your hands or face start to swell.

    If it makes you feel any better, I had multiple cankle rolls on each ankle when I delivered my son. lol

     One thing I learned when I had pre-e (which led to my cankles) was that many doctors don't recommend putting your feet up where your legs are at a 90 degree angle from your body. This position can cut off some of the blood flow.

    Actually, when I got them when my son was born the doctor said to walk as much as possible- to get the water circulated back throughout your body and it REALLY worked.  Within a few days or so it got better.  Just "putting my feet up" made it way worse.  Plus, drink lots of water.  ;o)
