The very first time I soaked my feet, I experienced a burning, painful sensations. I mentioned this to Mrs.D but she said she never experienced it.
I tried using it again and after a while the sensation of burning disappears. So I am using it now every night. As you know our bodies react to certain medications/supplements different ways.
My sister had this episode of swelling feet and legs. She was not taking any diuretic medications. But, she has varicose veins and she stands a lot being a teacher. This was resolved by wearing the compression stockings. Of course, this will not apply to you because you might not tolerate wearing tight stockings. Have you consulted a doctor about the swelling?
