Thanks for the suggestions. I did try the epsom salts today & it did help. My swelling gets worse when I am on my legs for longer than normal periods of time. I did pool therapy the other day & they seemed to be worse afterwards. I wasn't measuring my legs then so I don't know if they were more swollen or just felt like they were. I layed around all day yesterday and my legs were 3/4 inch smaller than the day before and feel better today - I've been able to walk around the house a little today. It's really painful for me to walk when they get really swollen. I'm going to see if I can find some arnica gel & comfrey leaf. Do those compression socks hurt? I already feel like I have tight socks on.
Thanks again,
Linmarie
