Try cocoa butter. Or what you can do is buy Bag Balm. A pic is in my sources but before you go to sleep, put it on your feet, put a plastic bag over your feet and then put on some socks. Make sure you take off the bags before you walk and wash your feet because it's like vaseline. It comes off very hard.

Buy gynelotrimen.\nIt's MUCH cheaper than the foot creams, and it is EXACTLY the same medicine.

Treatments for Edema: \n\nTreatment focuses on correcting the underlying cause of the fluid accumulation. In addition, a low-salt diet and avoiding excess fluid intake usually helps. If you are not short of breath, elevation of the legs above the level of your heart will also keep swelling down. A low dose of a diuretic (water pill) used sparingly might be added in some cases.\n\nFor swollen ankles and feet caused by pregnancy from the enlarged uterus pushing on the vena cava, elevation of the legs and not lying on your back (either side) helps blood flow and decreases swelling.\n\nMost patients with mild leg edema due to varicose veins can be treated with periodic leg elevation and support (compression) stockings. Sometimes surgery is needed to improve the flow of blood through the leg veins.\n\nAlso, no matter what the underlying cause of edema, any swollen area of the body should be protected from pressure, injury and extreme temperatures. The skin over swollen legs becomes more fragile over time. Cuts, scrapes and burns take much longer to heal and are more prone to infection when skin has edema underneath.

It can be pulmonary edema, and diuretics are prescribed for this.  However, you should not be self-diagnosing and popping pills for this, you need to call your physician immediately, explain the symptoms, and if they can't get you in sooner go to the ER.  Too many diuretics will cause you more harm than good, like dehydration which will lead to metabolic problems.  I urge you to call your doctor ASAP

Hi, I don't have trouble with my ankles swelling, however one of the reasons your ankles could swell is possibly due to the fact that you are not active enough during the day because of your work situation. The lymphatic system does not have a pump like the circulatory system and so requires body movement in order to move excess fluid to be processed and removed from the body. Try rotating your ankles periodically while sat at your desk, or try to move around the office more, if that does not help, please see your medical practioner to rule out anything else. \n Also, take a look at any medicatons you may be taking, some may cause swelling at the ankles, good luck xx

Try soaking your foot in Epsom salts and warm water, making sure that you dry your foot completely.  Wearing sandals is helpful along with cotton socks, which you should change regularly.

Adreniline. It's a vasoconstrictor, reducing bloodflow in times of excitement or pain \n\nI'd see a doctor.  You might have a neurological disorder.

keep that sucka clean.  With all that activity your shoes are a cesspool of bacteria.  Use neosporin or a bactine spray when ever you can.  Soak that sucka in salt water to clean it and help with swelling.  Then wait...it'll prolly take close to a month for it to heal..maybe longer.

Sounds like it might be plantar fascitis. I had that. It's an inflammation of the fascia on the bottom of the foot. I ended up getting inserts for my shoes and had to do stretching and strengthening exercises. And don't climb round rung ladders!

Try a lotion you can probably get from most pharmacies called Zim's Crack Creme.  It's a horrible name, but it works really well.  You might also want to treat yourself to a pedicure that includes a parafin wax treatment.  Exfoliate your feet with a pumice stone, lotion your feet at least twice daily, and wear cotton socks to bed after you've lotioned.  Also try to lotion after you bathe, as your skin will be softer and it will be easier to absorb moisture.  Lotions with tea tree extracts are great for feet too.  Pamper them- they do all the work all the time.  They're worth it. :)

I was on lexapro then seroquel then geodon, after weight gain creeping up for about year, all of a sudden I started rapidly gaining, like a pound or two a day, so I had to go off of the medication, I also started getting symptoms of diabetes and cushings syndrome, been off for three months now, lost the severe edema but weight loss is coming very slowly

Dehydration is ofthen the the cause of severe leg pain. Perhaps the drug you are taking is a diuretc? Diuretics alleviate the symptoms of these diseases by causing sodium and water loss through the urine.
