Relief From Swollen Ankles!

I'm 36 weeks today, and in the last few days, my ankles have ballooned!

I'm confident it's normal swelling caused by edema and not something more sinister (no swelling elsewhere, no other symptoms) but I'm finding it really uncomfortable. My skin feels really tight, I'm struggling to bend my ankles when I climb the stairs and shoes are basically out of the question!

I'm trying to keep them elevated, but does anyone have any other suggestion to give some relief? xx

I had a warm bath for 20 minutes using some Epsom salts.
