ORIGINAL: MistressTexas Well they aren't flaming fire engine red, so thats a good thing... One reccomendation I have is to cut out as much salt as you can from your diet, and drink as much water as you possibly can... I'm talking 7+ litres.. or ummm I guess that would be 2 3/4 gallons. I've found that helps with almost any type of swelling I've ever encountered. The idea is that swelling is fluid (mostly water with some other goo in it) thats pooled in a particular area. Salt makes you retain water.. therefore, if you get rid of the salt, and drink enough water to rinse out the salt in your system, your body will also get rid of the extra water youre carrying, and should help the swelling go down dramatically. It's always worked for me, with all my various bumps and bruises and swollen joints. However I am a figher and used to abusing my body. Poor you sweetie, and thanks for the pics. Can we see after photos too? [:D] Does Pepsi count? :: sigh :: prolly not.. and its got sodium in it.. Arg! You do know, that if i drink loads of water - i'm going to have to pee loads - which means i'm going to be wiping, bloating (thats um, blotting, not bloating) and touching it more then i am? Oh! And thank you everyone for the suggestions. i'm abit nervous to try anything else at the moment and being sick.. eh, i sorta rather lay in bed at the moment. Specially if its not um.. hurting!
