Go back to the topic list and look for poor circulation. It has information that may help.

my feet swelled to twice their size! I cannot walk or move my feet.

Lymphedma wraps worked for me to bring my swelling down. I was amazed by the result. Now I wear compression stockings to maintain. I wore the wraps for several days in a row on feet and calves, then removed them to shower. It took about 3 weeks to get swelling down. Medicare paid for a specialist in lymphedma care to come to my house for an evaluation and to wrap 2 or 3 times a week. The bandages make your feet look like those of a mummy, but the result was worth the exercise.


Here are two web sites that discuss wrapping:
