Within only a few days my ankles and legs have gotten so bad I cannot walk or stand at all because they just balloon up! My ankles literally feel like they will explode from pressure also my knees feel like that as well if I squat. Anyone have this happen? And tips to feel better?

I was having these exact same problem. As soon as I would get up in the morning they would start blowing up. They kept checking my blood pressure making sure it wasn't anything to do with preclampsia. Put your feet up as much as possible, and watch your salt intake!
I don't add salt to anything anymore. I read you can drink more water. I don't eat fried foods either. I use Ms. Dash instead of salt
Yes I was at the er Monday and they never said I was at risk for anything. I'm seeing a new ob so we will see what he has to say but it's extremely uncomfortable. I am only on my feet for 10 minutes at a time and that's what I get. I can barely work the pedals of my car without swelling. This is any time I cook, clean or walk up my stairs or take my dogs out for a walk. Its crazy.
Have you checked your blood pressure? Are you keeping them elevated?
They say the salt thing is a myth, however my family is loaded with high blood pressure and heart problems so I'm not one for fried foods, fast foods or too much salt. I never add additional salt to anything I eat. The only thing I haven't tried doing is drinking more water.
