    Well, when I was pregnant, I was told to put your feet above your heart. Salt increases edema and drinking plenty of water helps it.

    Elevating your feet works wonders, as does epsom salt baths.

    Making it swell is easy.. just wacked it with a hammer or walk in my yard or something!!

    To reduce the swelling, Ibuprofin and ice packs. Leave the ice on for ten to fifteen minutes, and wait at least an hour before re-applying.

    If you can tolerate it, a gentle massage around your calves and ankles may help.

    Ice for 15 mins, keeping feet elevated.
    Drink plenty of water and perhaps get a Manual lymphatic Drainage massage or a relaxation massage to help increase circulation.
    However if it continues you should follow up with your doctor.

    depends why it is swollen - injury or fluid retention. They are different things.
    Injury - ice it, take ibuprofien, elevate it and rest it
    fluid retention see your doctor, elevate it eat a banana
    Hope its better soon:smile:
