Anyone have pitting edema?

I just started having swelling in my ankles, and pretty much all over, but it is most noticeable there!!!  It comes with Pitting Edema :(  I must be on my feet all day to work...  Is anyone else experiencing this?  What are you doing to prevent it from getting worse?  Thanks in advance!

    I've had this since about week 20 and sorry to break it to you, but it doesn't get better. You can try to reduce your sodium intake and drink more water... but that hasn't helped me a whole lot.

    Ugh I've had it for a few weeks now :(

    I had it with DD1 as well, but chalked that up to being pregnant all summer.  I guess that wasn't it.  Keeping your feet up as much as possible when you can (not just on a little stool but like laying on your bed with your feet up on the wall).  

    I wish I knew an easy fix.  Swimming in a pool helps but I'm sure it's cold in Nebraska just like it's cold in MA :(

    There is a difference b/w edema and pitting edema.  Pitting edema is a sign of serious problems.  I would go to the doc soon
