So I have some bad swelling in my legs, worse in my left. What do I do?
@peaceofheaven121, Called today, Dr said elevate and watch through the weekend if worse call the after hours number. Said she thinks it's too early for pre-eclampsia but have an appointment on Monday anyways.
@peaceofheaven121, I think I'm going to call in the am because my next appointment isn't for nearly 3 weeks still. The swelling just started tonight so it kinda freaked me out. I had a pretty deep pit in my shin area scared me a little. I will definitely let you know what I find out tho and maybe it will help you too....😄
I have been laying in bed for an hour and mine just started tingling and hurting.. If you get to your doctor before me, tell me what's happening to us!! 😂😂😂
@peaceofheaven121, I took my socks off a little bit ago and my feet have been tingling ever since. It crazy feeling.
Oh. Mention it at your next appointment just to make sure there isn't any issues, but I've heard it's quite common! My feet are starting to tingle and sting when I stand too long.
@shortizzie, My bath isn't big enough...or I'm too big one or the other. But thanks. @peaceofheaven121 I will try. I've had my feet up for awhile and when I put them down to get up is when I noticed they were swollen.
RELAX and put your feet up! I know the hussle and bussle of life doesn't allow us to sometimes.. But try. 😉
@shortizzie, @lucylu2 Thank you. I will try to move more and try to elevate while I'm sitting. And I'll call the Dr in the am and see about getting an appointment.
see if you can get up and move a littlw more sometimes they have little thing you can put under your desk to allow you to excersise and still work also see if you can elevate your feet a little while at work
@newbee2016, it could make it worse but if the swelling is worse on the left if definitely go get checked out and make sure evetything is okay.. I know when I was working EMS that was never a good thing especially when you where retaining only on one side.. almost everything has salt some more then others and increase your water intake
I don't use salt. But I guess things have salt in them already huh.....I work at a job where I sit most of the day right now. Is that going to make it worse?
Oh no!!! Thank you so much, I'll be mentioning that at my appointment this week! @newbee2016
