Foot Massagers
I have very swollen ankles when I wake up (oedema??), and I was wondering if I would benefit from a foot massager machine. Would welcome views from anyone in a similar situation,thanks.

The nurse will know what is the best for you. In the meantime, keep them raised as much as you can, and try sleeping with them on a pillow. Think about cutting down on salt. Don't squash your feet in to uncomfortable shoes. Don't stop walking, increase your walks if you are able to but not if it is painful or causes more swelling.
