Does anyone experience leg or foot swelling due to sitting extended periods? I try to stand and move around but as of recently I’ve been experiencing swelling almost daily- which is strange since this hasn’t been an issue for most of the year of WFH. Any tips outside of just moving around? It kicks in as soon as an hour of straight sitting.

Actual Swelling or just a pins and needles sensation?

Mostly swelling but it starts with some pins and needles, I’m assuming it’s from lack of movement but this never happened before no matter how long I’d sit at my desk.

No swelling but I had one day where it felt like I had strained or injured my knee. I couldn’t bend it the entire day (it was too painful to bend) Haven’t been to gym in forever so I know I didn’t pull anything while working out. I had only been working at my desk for long periods of time.

Might wanna see a doc. Could be a sign of deep vein thrombosis which can be life threatening

See a doctor!!!
