At what point...

Do you worry about how much swelling is happening?  It's only 12 pm here, I have been sitting all morning....

And, the joints in my hands hurt from swelling....

    OMG! Not that I haven't seen worse, but I have been lucky so far to not have any swelling. Have you been drinking a lot of water? I honestly wouldn't be worrying. Put your feet up if you can.

    LOL...the picture doesnt do it justice on how much swelling there is!  :) Its quite crazy!  Im not necessarily "concerned" per se, just curious. 

    Yes, I down the water.  Mainly early in the day cause I get full later and acid reflux, so I get as much in before that occurs....

    I wish I could say it gets better.  My feet look 3 times worse than yours.  So swollen!  I had a pedicure yesterday and the light massage they did helped relieve some of the tension I had there.  I have been drinking what seems like gallons of water.  I guess we just have to wait for them to go back to normal..... :(

    Not above my heart, unfortunately from 8-430 during week I am at the office sitting at a desk.  I try to put them up, but its hard with how my desk is situated, and they dont go above even waist when up at work.  Eh. Oh well!

    I was going to ask if you had your feet propped up as well.  If you've been sitting with your legs hanging down, they will still swell.  I have mine propped on a box.

    I haven't had swelling issues but definitely get your feet up and icnrease your water intake. Also cut yout salt, if you can. Hopefully it goes down soon.
