So swollen feet/hands and dead hands....help

Is there anything I can do to alleviate the dead/asleep hands and super swollen ankles and feet? Im due Oct 2nd. I have 2 jobs, thankfully both are easy for me to grab a quick rest/sit at. One is outside so I basically work am and sit in my car and watch when its hot. I've cut my sodium intake. I drink lots of fluids. But I can't sleep bc my arms and hands feel like fire runs through them and by mid day my ankles are so swollen. Even my too big flip flops cut into my feet. I get in a pool and sit alot. What else can I do? I'm going crazy!

    Have you talked to your doctor about this? They want to monitor severe swelling because of the risk of preeclampsia. If that risk is ruled out for you then I would still be calling my doctors office to see what kind of advice they can give me to help with those symptoms.

    I would first and foremost call your doc. But I have suffered with swollen hands and feet ever since I was about 18 years old. I find immediate relief when I run my hands under cold water or my feet. Feels amazing.

    Def talk to the doctor, you might have carpal tunnel syndrome.
