So my feet have been swelling on and off for a few weeks now but tonight was definitely the worst!! I was at the beach for 2 hours today (drinking tons of water too) and this was the outcome. My poor feet 
Living in Florida where the humidity level is at like 90% and 92 degrees does not help!!
Anyone else struggling with swelling like this??

The only time mine have looked like that was post partum after 26 hrs of labor and being on fluids for so long. It took about a week for them to go down. It was a sad sight to see!
Keep your feet elevated and just keep flushing it out with water. You'll be peeing a lot, but its flushing it out. Oh and definitely cut out salt. Whenever I eat salty, I am sure to swell in my fingers and feet/ankles. I also live in FL and I know what you mean about this crazy humidity!!

eeeek! That's what I was rockin' last weekend, we had spent 5 hours in the car to Ohio for our baby shower, then 5 hours back home 2 days later. When I got home, as I was walking around, I felt like there was Jello under my skin, jiggling with each step I took. Luckily after a long night's sleep I was back to normal the next day.
Be sure to drink a LOT of water, I know it seems counter intuitive but I guess the more dehydrated you are, the more your body will want to retain fluids. You'll pee a ton but it's a small price to pay!

Wow that looks painful!!!! I live in SoFla too so am with you in the humidity! Fortunately I have had no swelling at all but I have really low blood pressure and have been told to eat more sodium rich foods... I guess I'm the other end of the scale
.
Hope it gets better for you
My feet looked just like that on Sunday. I was in the car on our way home to Texas from the FL/AL border and it felt like my skin was going to burst. My husband got super worried because he said my face was a tiny bit swollen too. I drink a lot of water but I guess it just isn't enough still. Once I put my feet up on the dash the swelling went down considerably and didn't return as badly as it was. I swell at work too so my shoes get super tight, I'm looking for a box or something to put under my desk for my feet.
