Can sanyone recommend anything else for swollen feet except putting them higher than your heart? I've got a stupid pulled muscle and can't actually sit down properly - so unable to put my feet higher than heart as can't sit down! Any suggeestions would be brill cos they look like huge balloons and my toes are like sausages! Grin

Hmmm...where is the pulled muscle (without wishing to be too nosy!). It's a bit hard to make suggestions without knowing what muscle or at least area it is.

I've got about 3 along the ribs - they are getting better slowly - but still not able to lie down properly!

My feet get huge but I find that laying on the sofa on my left hand side helps keep them down or just putting them up a bit. Don't know about pulled muscles, but with my bump, there's no way I could get them higher than my heart! Just higher than the floor helps me loads. Oh, and Santa treated me to some Clarins energising balm for tired legs and that helps too. Have to get DH to put it on though as I can't quite reach my feet any more.....
