Help!!!!

[AmbeeBee]

I'm (possibly) cruising next month, and while I was on my cruise last year, my feet decided it would be awesome to swell. This was quite odd, as my feet do not swell at home (I am a preschool teacher and community actress and am on my feet most of the day). Does this happen to anyone else? Does anyone have any remedies?

Could be heat or walking, could be water retention from eating a lot of foods high in salt (restaurant food in general is higher in salt than home cooked foods) Drink LOTS of water to flush your system, and bring a pair of comfy/stretching shoes, just in case.

 

(there have been quite a few threads on this in the past with various remedy & diagnosis options - might find other useful information if you search)

Thank you! :D

You may want to consider titling your posts something more descriptive than "Help" or "another question"

Mine swell when I travel. A number of people recommended black cherry capsules. They helped my feet and ankles. Read through this thread.

Try to avoid soups on ships. They are loaded with salt.
