Hi KittyLady,

I had dealt with my feet and legs swelling for quite awhile, there was not an underlying health problems which could account for the swelling.

Exercise would only give minimal relief, excluding salt/sodium did not seem to make any difference and putting my feet up did nothing.

For reasons unrelated to the swelling I started increasing my water intake. I went from 60 to 64 oz of water a day to 80 to 100 oz a day. It didn't take long for the swelling to completely resolve That was about 3 or 4 years ago and I still keep my water intake at 80 to 100oz of water a day and I have never had a problem with swelling.

Hope all goes well at your Drs. appointment
