Holy missing ankles!!!!!!!

Last night when we came home from a bbq and I looked @ my ankles they were gone!!!!!

That's the first time I had that and it was SO NOT SEXY! I am sure it won't be the last.


This morning they came back- thank goodness.

What do you do about that aside from elevating your legs????

I elevate my legs and put an ice pack underneath my ankles and above my ankles (wrapped in towels of course). I also sleep with my feel elevated (pillow at the end of the bed that my feet rest on. They also suggest putting something underneath the mattress to elevate the feet part.

Also,have DH massage them

Elevate legs
drink plenty of water
limit sodium intake

Honestly.... at the end... nothing really works!

OMG I had a severe case of cankles on Friday as well! I was cleaning my kitchen and I think I over-did it...my husband walked in to the kitchen and screamed when he saw my ankles it was pretty funny but he got upset at me and ordered me to bed...
