Sitting all day: can cause dependent edema which is a venous issue. Try moving your foot up and down while sitting to make the calf muscle contract and squeeze the veins. This will help venous return. Take a walk at lunch and consider support hose. Watch your salt intake. If it worsens or has pain develop, see a doctor
