Edema: If your swelling from edema is in your legs you should 1: Take your bath or shower at bedtime. 2: Purchase a wedge pillow from Binson's or other similar store. 3: Sleep with your legs on the pillow. 4: Put on support stockings before your feet leave your legs. Your weight should go down soon.
