7. You probably all ready are, but elevate your legs

all the time.

Massage is also useful if you start at the foot and work up your calf. They have electric shiatsu massage devices that have all kinds of adjustable setting for strength and heat. I have a large one for my back and it really does help me feel a lot better.

There are intermittent air pressure boots that squeeze your legs like a massage and they can really help. Go browse around Amazon, all different price points, but you can see how they work and read the reviews.

If you think they might be helpful then make an e-visit to your physician. See if your insurance will cover all or part of the cost with a prescription.

Feel better.
