I don’t believe soaking your foot or feet in Epsom salt water can cause these problems. First, you can try to stretch and massage your legs and feet and apply warm and cold compresses (in alteration). If this doesn’t solve the problem within a couple of days, you should consult for additional investigation. You will need a physical exam, blood tests and imaging tests.
