Today is my day off but I am trying my best to just chill and not do too much as work these days have absolutely been manic. I have been coming home from work with swollen feet and hands. As well as back, hip, and knee pains.
Tomorrow and Thursday is our scheduled monthly bloods which is even extra busy and I am working on both days. So today all I am doing is cooking, dishes, and laundry. I refuse to do any more housework until the weekend at least. Hopefully I will survive tomorrow.

If you can, stop and put your feet up and rest, maybe read a book or watch something on the television. That will help with the swollen joints. Take some pain reliever, too.
I hope the next two days aren't as busy as you think they'll be.

@flapiz If you're keeping your hands at your side quite a bit, then they'll swell up, too.

@DaddyEvil I see. I was starting to worry I may have rheumatoid arthritis or worst heart disease.

This reminds me of when I was a waitress.I would come home with swollen hands and feet. It was just horrid.

@flapiz Yes, putting my feet on pillows don't work.

Gie your mind and body some rest. I am as well facing the same scenario. I get tired after day's work but still there are enough things to do and I often end up doing less than what I should be doing. I do get overwhelemed as well. A few days ago, I decided health is important. I will give good care and work to fix those and do things but will not be a maniac .In that way I am physically and mentally at peace. In your case, please take pain reliever if needed and give your hands and feet a good rest. Unless you are in good health , you cannot prolong with the work and things. Take care!
