It is an issue I've been dealing with for years--I always sleep with my legs elevated under a few pillows, this has the added benefit of protecting my heels as I let my feet/heels hang over the pillows. Here is the link to my New Mobility article on Edema. By the way, can get New Mobility for free by joining United Spinal.
