What you have is called EDEMA and can be caused by a number of things. Diabetes being one of them. Standing on your feet will also cause this if done for long periods of time. Lessen your salt intake and as your doing elevate the legs. You may go here for more info. I would suggest having your doctor take a look as well to get a more informed decision from him/her.
