Swollen Legs

If you fix the water retention and improve the circulation in your legs and hopefully walk then I think the swelling should go down. The body seeks balance and I do so hope that you are able to find a way to take care of this. Good luck!

To reduce the swelling, elevate legs above the level of the heart, which puts minimal pressure on the backs of the knees and thighs and lower back. Just sitting in a reclining chair in front of the TV is a great way to elevate your legs. Many products, for use at home or at work, can also help reduce swelling. Other aids include: Leg wedges to elevate the feet while sleeping. Support socks and stocking, either over-the-counter or customer-made. Support socks and stockings come in various gradients depending on the pressure needed, and various lengths depending on the level of the edema. Proper fitting shoes and socks. Go out to buy new shoes in the afternoon to get the best fit.
