Feet are still swollen?!?!

I thought after delivery the swelling was supposed to go down. My feet seem to have swelled even more!. My doc said it'll get worse before it gets better. At this point I can't really wear shoes, I have a hard time even fitting into flip flops. I breastfeed so I'm drinking lots of water daily, I've been walking around consistently since my c-section on Halloween. I have limited my salt intake. What else can I do to hurry this process along? It feels like the skin on the top of my feet is going to burst open while I walk.
