CureYourBody.com is excited to announce the launch of
its new forums. The next several months will be critical to setting up the
forums the way you want them to be. So
if you feel we should add more categories or sub forums, please let us know.
We'll add sub forums on our own as well, if we feel a
large number of posts are being made on a specific topic. For example, "Colon Cleansing" was added as a sub forum to the Gastroenterology forum since there seems
to be a lot of posts for that specific subject.
For the second time in the last three weeks my feet have swollen up. The skin is tight and the sides of my feet are tender. Does anyone know what could be causing this?
Is it serious, should I be going to the doctors?
The last time this happened I didn't go the doctors and the swelling went down by itself. I'm not on any medication and I haven't changed my diet or lifestyle in any way...
No, nobody on the internet knows what is causing this. You'll need to see your doctor. Heart problems can cause those symptoms so don't delay.
Nobody on the internet will really know what is causing your problems, go see your doctor. I don't mean to scare you, but heart problem can cause those problems so don't delay, but odds are it won't be anything SUPER serious. Hope you find out the problem!

This may or may not be something serious, but it is something that should be considered serious until your doctor tells you differently. You may be retaining fluid. Are you sitting down more than usual? It could be that you're not getting enough circulation. Could be lots of things. Go see your m.d.
No my diet hasn't changed, I wouldn't say I am consuming more food with a higher level of salt. Well I have been sitting down a lot, but I've also been exercising too. I've a doctors appointment booked now, just to be safe.
Thanks guys. anymore help is really appreciated, just to keep my mind at ease until I go to the drs.
Wheat is a common cause of water retention, so try avoiding it if you are eating a lot of it. Also avoid tea, coffee and alcohol are they're diuretics so they exacerbate water retention. Try some herbal tea
There are 2 main things that could actually stop water retention. Ironically though, the first is drinking more water it is common when we are dehydrated or low on water. The body tends to conserve water, and will retain a bit to keep us hydrated. The usual 8-10 glasses of water a day helps a lot.
I experience the same,my ankles swell easily. I think the tips shared here will be helpful but my immediate relief for this condition is resting my feet in a cooler place but i agree that summer means going out and having fun without having to worry about pain or discomfort. At least next time,we can prepare ahead and choose activities that are ankle friendly, right?
