Please : Please see your primary care doctor and have this completely evaluated. You need to get your renal function checked. You may also have low serum albumen (protein) that causes edema. You may need to be on medications to help you with the swelling. You may need your heart function checked. Please be seen and have this completely evaluated.

My legs below the kn: Discuss side effects with your internist from any meds you take that can cause swelling as well as some conditions such as high bp, lymphedema, venous insufficiency. Salt can definitely cause swelling. Get venous ultrasound, consult with vascular dr. Support stockings, exercise, venous pump can help, loosing weight if you are over-weight helps tremendously.
