anyone else experiencing it? i got home from going out to dinner about an hour and a half ago and my feet and ankles are huge. weird thing is i didn't do anything today, i am on vacation and just played with my 2 and 5 month old nephews on and off all day. weird that i would be fine at 5 when we left for dinner and then at 9 when we got home they were huge. i'm drinking water and i put an ice pack on them and put them up, hoping it goes down in the morning. any advice on what the signs are i should call the doctor and get concerned? thanks
