Same problem here, I just kept my legs across the arm of the couch, pillows under my calves and took ibuprofin 2 pills 3x day for a little while. It helps SOOO much!

Oh if only 75% of the swelling was gone by now (almost 5 weeks)...but in my HEAD I know this will PASS but dang nabbit I want to wear REAL shoes!!

Hi Ms Shell,

I can only imagine how uncomfortable your are feeling. I don't have a lot to say because there are so many factors when it comes to swelling. Just wanted to chime in to make sure you are taking in more water than normal (64oz min!!!). I'd skip caffiene for now too. Fluids flush fluids.

Wishing you well,
Rachel

Ok intellectually I KNOW what's going on but I swear I need a magic pill or something.  I get on average 80oz of water and PLEASE do  NOT take my caffiene away.  I just came back to work you can't take my coffee AND my cute shoes I won't survive!!

Thanks Rachel!!
