    Swelling
    My feet are swollen to the point that when you push on the skin it stays indented for over a couple minutes, it's been going on since Friday,my hands were like that until this morning. My husband has been harping about me going to the ER but since my swelling went down on my hands I feel a lot better. Is this something that would warrant an ER trip?

    Swelling of feet and hands is typically a sign of water retention. It can be a symptom of a number of things, heart, kidney, excessive salt, aging, etc. I would at least try to get to see your doctor.
