Swollen feet and ankles can be at times painful and at times painless.
Painless swelling happens for several reasons. Some of the causes
behind swollen feet include standing for a long time, wearing
ill-fitting shoes, lifestyle factors, pregnancy and certain medical
conditions.

accumulated in the tissues, which is called edema. While edema can get
resolved on its own, there are certain home remedies that can help in
