Question

Just went on a long road trip and I have swollen feet and ankles, this happened last time too?

Answer 1

TAKE A BATH IN EPSOM SALT IT WORKS WONDERS

Answer 2

I think long periods of immobility in an automobile is bad for the circulation.  My feet get sore and somewhat swollen too just in a half hour commute home from my job.  Maybe the slight pressure on the back of your legs as you sit in a car seat does this, preventing venous blood from returning to your heart as efficiently as outbound blood goes to your feet through your deeper arteries.  It is a little like what happens when you apply a tourniquet.  

Answer 3

Maybe water retention??

If you go on a long trip, you're supposed to keep moving your legs, or keep stopping to have a little walk, like they tell you to on a plane. I believe it's to stop thrombosis.
