Dr Jo I can't express into words just how THANKFUL I am for following your tips. I could barely walk today but after utilizing the elevation and foot pointing I'm moving albeit slowly in the right direction!!!!!! THANK YOU!!!!!!

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome!

[@YT4Me57]

I was diagnosed with venous insufficiency (post ankle break and dislocation) and have neuropathy in my toes. Since I can't take the constriction, I use a toe-less compression sock on the affected leg, with a sock or stocking over it, year round. It took some getting used to initially, but now, I'm fine. As you stated, when I wear it, at the end of the day there's no swelling.

[@danielastoica3354]

Dear Doctor Jo, thank you sooooo much! I had horrible pains in my leg and your advice was very simple to put into practice. With horrible pains we cannot do much. Just putting a big pillow under my hurting leg I was able to have some sleep (unbelievable!!!!) and I felt much better in the morning. Thank you so so so so so so much! God bless you beautiful, intelligent and helpful young lady!!!!

Thank you so much for explaining why you elevate your legs after an injury. A lot of videos just tell you that it reduces swelling but never explain how that actually works.

[@AskDoctorJo]

Thank you for these! I’m dealing with the aftermath of a tibia and fibula clean break and I am cast-less. My orthopaedic surgeon told me lots of elevation and ankle circles to hopefully strengthen my muscles to walk again w/o boot or crutches

[@AskDoctorJo]

You're welcome! Good luck.

[@wilmameyer3548]

I am dealing with a torn quad . 2 tendons. It tore all the way threw. Because of all the falls i had and the Dr not believing me or considering soft tissue exams. What am I facing besides alot of pain

[@AskDoctorJo]

Unfortunately, I don't know since I can't evaluate you. If you can go see a physical therapist for an evaluation, that would be the best option.

[@mtkk22]

Great ideas to do FIRST, before u get ANY shots in your knee. Great video and simple but effective excercizes and wonderful demonstration on how to elevate.
