Praying for Bishop Alvear. My husband has the same problem.

Indeed...

Soak them in epsom salt if you have it.

2 teaspoons of dried parsley steeped in a cup of hot water. 3 cups per day.

But... most of all.. prayer. We will certainly do that.

Touch Bro. And Sis. Alvear from head to toe, inside out, LORD, and give them
rest for their weary bodies, in Jesus Name.

How beautiful are the feet of those who preach the gospel!!! :D

Re: Brother Alvear´s feet are so swollen...
 

My doctor tells me to go ahead and take a double dose when my feet swell. They never swell that much either. Maybe you could call the doctor and ask about doing that??

I agree - ELEVATE them. above his heart. and no more salt for a while :(

Re: Brother Alvear´s feet are so swollen...
 

I never knew beautiful feet could be so painful!

Re: Brother Alvear´s feet are so swollen...
 

Should anyone but a medical doctor be giving advise as to medication??? Not safe at all. I hope he sees a Doctor if the swelling remains. Will be praying.

Re: Brother Alvear´s feet are so swollen...
 

Margie did say that she should call the doctor and ask first.

Re: Brother Alvear´s feet are so swollen...
 

I've never given Ibuprofen products or NSAIDS for swelling that was not related to an inflammatory process. The edema can be caused by different reasons. If it is there simply because of bad circulation, I would check with a doctor about taking Ibuprofen for the swelling sake alone.

There are stockings that help with blood return (venous stasis) and swelling that Bro Alvear may want to try if he hasn't already. Jobst stockings.

Praying for these "beautiful" feet. I agree that the Scripture applies here!:thumbsup
