Water is primarily the only thing he drinks! He may have 1 soda a day, but keeps a gallon of water beside him while he is driving. I did make him a dr appointment, and plan on stopping at winslow, az walmart to get water pills, will also look into the diabetic socks! Thanks again!!

Get a foot massage or acupressure for the feet. Standing on your head helps too. It's a yoga move.

Your legs will feel better, but the problem still remains.
Probably need a diuretic, but trade off is you will have to urinate often.

After trying various methods, I finally found that compression socks are the best way to reduce leg swelling. Due to illness and related drugs, this left a lot of fluid in my feet and feet. I didn't know my body would swell so much quickly until someone suggested that I wear compression socks to prevent fluid from accumulating in my lower limbs. After using it for a while, I found that they did a good job draining fluid from my ankles, feet and legs, but they were very comfortable.
