Swelling

I know it is completely normal and a not to worry thing, but at what point to you start to worry? At what point are you supposed to call your doctor? My fat little feet are so swollen I can feel the fluid in them tingling and they are hurting! So what do you think, normal?

im going through the same thing...my dr. said its normal as long as my blood pressure is good...but u still need to tell ur dr.

It's not normal when the swelling is so bad the fluid begins to retain in your legs and face..

Thats what I thought, my blood pressure has been way good, so I guess I'll just let her know on friday that its getting a little bit rediculous and make sure she knows! Thanks, the tingling and pain had me a little worried!

I totally feel for you   Some advice: Ice bathes in those viberating/bubbling foot bathes things are WONDERFUL! Get hubby (or anyone else willing) to rub your feet, being sure to push from the toes up towards the hips, this helps to push fluid and blood back up. And keep them as elevated as you can - the ideally need to be above your heart level to really get the swelling to come down! Good luck!

Thanks everyone! I knew it was normal, but then I let somebody freak me out a bit when they saw the little elephant feet, going on about toximia, etc. . . Now I feel stupid for posting about it!

my feet get so swollen taht i can't bend my toes...and when i touch them i can see the marks from my fingers 30 minutes later...everytime ive spoken to my dr. i tell him...but my blood pressure is great so he said it wasnt anything to worry about. You can try cutting back on salty foods too...that helps a little..
