Water retention
I got myself stuck in the hospital sunday afternoon and stayed until wednesday afternoon. Since they pumped me full of fluids and potassium I have gained about 20 some pounds from fluid and such. My ankles are killing me!! They are so tight from the fluid retention. I have dropped about half of it but the rest still isnt going anywhere. Is there anything I can do to speed the process up??? It makes it hard to excercise when my ankles hurt so much!
Walk... and elevate in between walking...

It may sound kind of backwards, but drink as much water as you can. Fluid pushes fluid.

Hoping you get the ease of that fluid as quickly as possible. Keep with movement and the fluids and of course what your doctors orders are.
Sounds like you are half way there with feeling better. Hang in there! You are losing and will get through this. Fluids in our bodies are just strange and they come and go. Awareness is always so important and sound like you are!
