Has anyone seen my ankles?

My feet have been swollen before, but this is just ridiculous. Now they are swollen all day long. I woke up this morning, and DH said my toes looked like cocktail hotdogs. The good news is that it's easier to shave my legs, since I don't have to angle around my ankles... because they are gone! Just lots of puffed out skin over them.

Anyone else walking around with stay-puft marshmallow feet?

Re: Has anyone seen my ankles?

  • Yah mine are lost somewhere too...I thought for sure my Uggs would be my saving grace for the beginning of our winter. Sandals still fit but we just got about 20 inches of snow so that won't work! Hopefully my feet won't be swollen after the baby, I'm so over cankles and sausage toes.

  • all ours must be at the same place!  Mine have been swollen for about 3 weeks now and just recently my calfs and knees have gone missing too.  It's like I have giant tree trunks from thigh to toes going on here.  Not too mention it's so nice when my friends come over and look down at my feet and go "oh damn!"
  • My ankles have run away too! They just left behind big fat cankles Tongue Tied I started swelling about 3-4 weeks ago but it has gotten especially bad the last 2 weeks. They have made an exception for me at work and now allow me to wear my uggs, but my calves must be getting fat too because by the end of the day I have a small indent around them where my boots hit!

    My friends do the same thing...."Oh you're so swollen today". Yah thanks I noticed!

    Yes, the indent! I totally forgot about that. When I wear socks and boots (mind you I have gone from a size 4.5 to a 6.5 boot, uch) and I take off the boots, I have deep indentations where the socks hit my "ankles", and where the boots bend over my feet. It's super unattractive!

  • ankles? you still have those? i haven't seen mine in about a month.

    the u/s tech at my appt today pointed to my feet and said "your feet are swollen!".... No $hit, lady!  As if i hadn't noticed that i can barely stuff my sausage feet in to the full size larger shoes i've already had to buy. I have 3 weeks to go, swollen things are pretty much a given at this point! Stick out tongue

  • I've started referring to them as "Fred Flintstone Club Feet".  SO swollen it's painful to flex my feet!  My MW gave me a script for some very sexy support hose, and those seem to be helping somewhat...  But seriously, my right Ugg doesn't even want to go on any more.  That's just ridiculous.
