Hello,
I have studied your case. Edema in the feet is most commonly due to retention of water in the body. it can be due to high sodium intake in form of salt or it can be due to poor kidney or heart function. As you are saying that your urine volume is not sufficient so i would recommend you to get your urine check up done. If there is any problem in kidney than you can have such edema feet.
other cause is poor heart function. For this I would recommend you to wait for your heart report. You may need some medication to improve heart function.
I hope this answer will be helpful for you. Let me know if there is any other followup questions.
thanks
