Swollen Foot and freshly pregnant

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

Looking for tips on how to deal with a swollen foot. I've elevated it, but it doesn't seem to be doing much good. I'm 99% sure it's related to the big cycling event I did this weekend. I've never had an issue with it before, but since I just found out this weekend that I'm pregnant I'm not sure what to do, take, etc.

 

This food itched all of last week, so I thought it was poison ivy at first, then I noticed this weekend my big toe was swelling, now it's the entire foot. It was just feeling tight, but now it's beginning to hurt. Advice?

My advice would be to see a doctor.  Swelling in just one foot and not the other can be due to infection or a blood clot (among other things).  Hopefully it is just a minor injury from the cycling, but since you don't describe an obvious injury I would have it checked out.

Thanks for the response. I called my OB and talked to the nurse yesterday, they just said tylenol and stay off of it :p I think if it's not gone or at least better by tomorrow I'll call again and mention that.
