Swollen feet/ankles after the flight

[Bluwise]

Does anyone else suffer with swollen feet after the flight?  I have tried moving around on the plane etc but inevitably, my feet/ankles are swollen for quite a few days of the holiday.  Any remedies anyone?

Flight Socks!

Try wearing 'Flight socks' they work for me.  Best thing for swollen ankles is lie on the bed with your feet as high up on the wall as you can and drink plenty of Tonic water.

Thanks folks - I will give the socks a try and will definitely go for the tonic - but only if there's a gin in it!!

worst thing is to drink alcohol during the flight...so no gin in the tonic !!

Flight socks work for me - and definitely no alcohol

However, rest assured that i make up for it once we arrive!

Tried the lot! Flight socks , water tablets , the bed and wall thing, the whole 9 yards! The only thing that works for me is walking. Once we got our apartment and had to walk to and from the beach the swollen ankle problem seemed to disappear. Think it starts on the plane with cabin pressure and then gets worse with inactivity and booze!
