Members responded to a question about swollen feet with a mix of personal experiences and practical suggestions, noting that heat, salt intake, and inactivity can all make swelling worse. Several members recommended compression socks, leg elevation, air or lymphedema massagers, and wearing roomy footwear like Crocs or Velcro sandals for comfort. A recurring theme was the frustration of swelling that worsens with activity, along with warm community support and shared humor as members navigated the challenge together.

I found that compression socks really help. They can be a hassle getting on, but those plastic sock-tube things with strings on each side to help pull on the sock do the job. The heat definitely makes the swelling worse. Compression socks followed by a good soak helps me a lot. Hope you find relief!

@A MyMSTeam Member that exactly happened to me and hubs wanted to cancel our trip to visit my folks but I told him I’d rather die with those who genuinely loved me than with his hypocritical family , nothing showed on tests performed in urgent care so I’m like we ain’t canceling . My niece gave me her old crocs kinda forcefully bcus my foot was excessively swollen and my brother was like I just got you a new pair so give them to your aunt 😆
I paid her for them bcus I know how valuable they were to her 💕

@A MyMSTeam Member , those compression socks are impossible to put on for me 🫩
Elevating the legs or feet helps too 🤓
