A few years ago I developed the problem of the bottom portions of both my legs becoming swollen. I showed to my Doctor, but he could not suggest any solution for it. Then I discussed this problem with my brother, and we developed the following procedure to solve it.
Until this time, like everyone else, I was putting a pillow under my head when I sleep. With the bottom portion of the two legs swollen, it is clear that fluid is collecting there. So, I decided to put a pillow also under my feet when I sleep to elevate them; which helps to push that collecting fluid towards the kidneys. So, I got a thick pillow and started putting it under my feet when I sleep. So now I have one pillow under my head, and another pillow under my feet when I sleep. Within a few days, the bottom portion of my two legs are back to normal, and I am fine.
