If you're a freak, then I am also

I got a swollen left foot toward the end of my pregnancy with Anelise that lasted until she was almost 3 weeks old. It was actually more annoying than painful, the only pain came from my shoes digging in. My DH got me some Hirudoid cream from the chemist that reduced the size dramatically overnight and by the 2nd day of using it, the swelling went for good.
