More time in bed helps dealing with leg and feet swelling.

About the solution

More time in bed helps dealing with leg and feet swelling.
The best treatment for leg swelling that I have found is something that I discovered entirely by accident: More time in bed. When my husband was working, I spent about seven hours in bed at night and then would lie back in my recliner for another two or three hours in the afternoon. Even with that, my legs were swollen by noon, miserably uncomfortable by evening and absolutely painful by bedtime. When my husband retired, instead of spending 10 hours lying with my feet up in two separate sessions, I began spending 10 hours or more in bed all at one stretch. Within a matter of days after starting this routine, I noticed that the swelling was minimal. Now I don’t even have to lie down in the afternoon in order to be comfortable in the evening!
