Swollen legs and feet

Hi,

I am sorry that you are suffering.

My recent visit to Mayo included a vascular specialist and a close look at veins. My feet and ankles both swell when I am real active and they did swell while I was there from all the walking. He suggested elevating the feet so that they are higher than the heart while laying down. I did this for two days after returning home and today the swelling is gone. I hope this helps you.

Thanks for your reply and the info. I do put my feet up every afternoon for about an hour. I try to get them higher than my heart. This does help but the swelling remains.
