Any tips for swollen feet?

tiffanyp · December 2010

I have a black tie wedding to go to tomorrow, and my feet look terrible. I don't know how I'm going to squeeze into my shoes. I'm trying to drink a lot of water today and keep my feet up as much as possible. Anything else I can do?

Maybe some compression stockings.... You are already doing what I was going to suggest!

Good luck and bless your little heart for going to a black tie wedding. LOL

Thanks CLJ. I was thinking compression stockings but I don't own any and I'm not sure where to get them except online. Maybe I'll just put on several pairs of socks tonight and see if that does the trick. I wonder if soaking in an Epsom salt bath would help. Hmm...

For compression stockings, try walmart, target, meijers, etc in the pharmacy dept--for ppl with diabetes. That's where I found mine.

I would eat some watermelon or fruits high in water. The epsom salt in a bath will also work well!

Do "legs up the wall". Lay on the floor on your back and literally put your legs up the wall so you are in a 90 degree position. Lay there for a while and let your feet drain. My yoga instructor swears by this. It's a little hard to get in/out of so you might want to wait until DH is home!
