[QUOTE="JenBry, post: 1179469, member: 275545"] Hi Debbie Winnie has provided you with excellent advice, and as others have advised, please do go and see a Doc. In the case of my own lower leg / ankle swelling, I have noticed that the swelling is worse when the weather is humid, particularly if I have been sitting at my desk for longer than an hour. What I have also noticed is that when I eat any wheat or grains, eg bread (even 'healthy whole grain') my lower legs, and some of my other joints, swell up. Wheat is a known inflammatory, and is the cause of many 'aches and pains'. I can recommend Dr William Davis' book, Wheatbelly ([URL]http://www.wheatbellyblog.com[/URL]) for more info. Many people who go grain free (also known as gluten free) have many of their symptoms reduced / disappeared. I have also worked as a live-in carer, and many of the older folks who sit for most of the day, and have copious cups of tea with a biccy or two each time have very swollen feet. In those where I was successful in reducing their biccy intake, their swelling clearly reduced, and they were able to be more mobile as a result! Many Drs do not see or are aware of the correlation between diet and symptoms, so, best to inform yourself as best you can from a variety of sources (always verify their validity - don't always believe everything you read on the internet) But, do go and see the Doc first if you've not yet done so. And follow Winnie's advice too.. she's given you excellent advice! :-) [/QUOTE]
