    Bob and Brad recommended an excercise that works wonders for me. Lie in your back and bend each knee toward your chest ( one at a time) for ten repetitions each. I do two sets of these. The relief is immediate.

      They also advised to lightly massage the frontal - inner portion of the legs ( lymphatic pathways ) from the ankle up towards the groin to facilitate lymphatic fluid return from the feet upward .
      It doesn't really seem that it would provide any benefit - however - if I compare doing that motion at that location compared to doing it at any other area of my legs - I can feel a dramatic difference in the sensation - so I consider that to be evidential foundation for their claim
      Edit - now that I think more about the exact area - I start at just behind the top of my ankles and go straight up towards close to the bend at the back of the knee then close the middle of the inside thigh towards the groin

    I cured it on my own & it’s never been back👏👏Mine was definitely from high sugar intake. And that’s not always sweets, as it can simply be high carbs (ie sugar) as well. High fructose corn syrup being some of the worst & it’s in sooooo many everyday foods🙈
    This started happening to me in my mid 40’s. It scared the F out of me. I knew I’d end up giving myself Type II diabetes if I didn’t change & I’d only have myself to blame.
    The first thing I needed to change was my mindset. I had to learn that getting healthy was a form of self love, not deprivation.
    We only get one body so we must try our best. Of course I have bad days, but I pick back up & keep taking care of myself the next day. I don’t deprive myself, but I do my best to plan out those days where I know I’ll eat unhealthy food like on holidays etc.
    Like so many of us, I was raised with sweets as “rewards.” I love sweets so much there were times I’d rather eat 1/2 a chocolate cake than a meal🙊
    I had to get real with myself that I had a sugar addiction along with disordered emotional eating.
    I learned to check in with myself each time I wanted to eat with the following:
    F.L.A.B.S.
    Was I experiencing….
    Fear
    Anger
    Loneliness
    Boredom
    Stress
    So often we’re eating from habit & those issues above when we struggle with emotional eating. Meal planning by at least having a few healthy options around or full on meal planning & freezing too, can keep you on track.
    I try to see all the junk or high carb (carb=sugar) foods as POISON, no matter how good they smell or taste. Why would I want to poison myself on a regular basis?!
    Here’s what I did:
    1. Lost 40lbs & still going.
    2. Had major bloodwork with nutritional panel. I was low on a few vitamins & minerals.
    3. Started using an app to track my overall nutritional values daily. It tracks supplements as well. I started educating myself on nutrition from various sources.
    4. Most of the time I eat a clean keto diet of whole foods & mostly plant based. There are tons of options these days.
    5. I put great emphasis on liver health as it can determine much of our overall health. I removed most sugars, artificial sweeteners & protein isolates (in many protein bars, powders & packaged plant based foods)
    6. I’ve never been great at exercising, but I started moving more.
    6. Intermittent Fasting:
    I eat mostly on a 16/8 schedule. I also try to do one full 24hr fast per week. This has blown my mind how easy it’s been & the wonderful effects.
    Do your research in multiple places.
    Check out Dr Berg here on RUclips.
    I hope this can help anyone who may need it🙏
    You CAN become healthier at ANY age & enjoy doing it✊❤️‍🩹

    Lipodermatersclerosis causes swelling also. It’s usually concentrated from shins down to feet. (Have been to Dr to have veins closed off. But swelling hurts)Doctor states that every hour get up and walk around for at least five minutes or so. Do not play or be an active for 45 minutes or more without moving the legs. Hope this helps other folks who may be suffering from this condition

    Very helpful video. I have had a desk job for decades and had no problems with my legs or feet. Then my parents had to be entered into nursing care, but since they were in a city about 3 1/2 hours from my house, I began driving to check on them every week or two. All of this driving began to cause me lots of lower leg and feet swelling . So these tips are great. Thanks.

    For the third year, as soon as the summer comes with temperature of 25°C and above, my left foot swells. Something inside has been destroyed through assymetrical sitting or some blockage in the gut. I really enjoy crossing my legs and stabilizing myself that way on a revolving chair. If I wear tall winter boots (yes in the summer) and go for a walk, the liquid gets drained, but that doesn't address the cause. The skin remains a scar tissue from rashes once the swelling is gone, it does regrow lost hair. I found that the keto diet helps, but it is hard to sustain.

      I think I’m having the same issue but for me it’s both legs. I started having rashes then a day or 2 later feet are swelling and it has never happened to me until I moved here in Barcelona.
      However there is an area which I used to visit in Kenya called Kisumu it’s also hot so every time I would go my feet would look weird but I used to think it’s bcz of sitting for hours bcz we used to drive there and it was 7 hrs driving but lately I don’t think it’s about sitting. I think it’s the heat, I don’t understand what it does but it’s not far. I will go see a Dr to know more.
      Another thing, I’m not finding many content on feet swelling caused by heat ( summer time)

    I really enjoyed this video ❤. I have naturally begun doing many of these things and I always tell people that I use everything around me as a “tool for healing” because the pain I experience is so extreme and so constant that I go days without any sleep because of it. I have gastraperesis and cyclical vomiting syndrome, among other ailments but the bulk of the pain stems from those two. So gas pain is literally always shooting around my body and I’m always nauseous. After much “western medical intervention “ over 12 years, I finally stopped seeing my doctor, who was keen on simply prescribing more and more meds, and I weened myself off of all my medication, and I began an aggressive, self imposed healing regime. Utilizing many Eastern Philosophical Methods which I adapted to do in my home environment as well as streamlining them to assist in healing my specific pain, I am not only feeling much better than I have in years but I feel a new sense of control. It was interesting to see some of the things I have incorporated naturally in this video. I never thought a video on swollen feet would keep me so interested. Glad you were in my feed. ❤

      Hi Doris, firstly let me say sorry for your the long term discomfort you’ve been living with, believe me I know what that feels like. This is my first year without a back pain since I started growing chest hair at 14.
      Some common causes of feet swelling you can start consciously looking out for include;
      - Being Medically Overweight
      - Standing or sitting for long periods at a time (says over 5 hours everyday)
      - Consuming too many foods with a lot of salt content; Fries.
      - Venous insufficiency; veins aren’t pumping effectively.
      There’s a few more, you can search for them here on RUclips too. Hope this helps.

      @@MovieRecapsDark There is another cause that many people do not consider. I also have swelling In my lower legs, ankles and feet. I have had every test imaginable to isolate the problem without a diagnosis. One thing I know that can cause it is Rheumatoid arthritis in the knee joints. I have Rheumatoid. Since I have started wearing knee supports yesterday the swelling in my lower legs has improved and that is in only one day.

    Excellent overview and valuable insights! I started having inexplicable swelling in my feet and ankles in my mid-20s. Had numerous tests done to rule out vascular or thyroid issues. I work out daily and eat organic, non-GMO fresh foods and was baffled by the swelling. After years of my own observation, the three primary factors seem to be inflammation from any type of sugars, gluten intolerance (which also causes inflammation), and significant changes in humidity and barometric pressure (e.g., my feet and ankles always swell when I’m in Latin America).
    I’ve cut out all sugars from my diet (even eating low FODMAP) and have things under control, but I’m going to try some of the stretching and rolling massage techniques. Thank you for these very helpful tips!

      Concrete flooring is “positive” or “negative” depending on the materials used to create it. If you research info on the affects of each has on human bodies you will be surprised. Usually it’s the “positive” concrete that causes distress on feet and legs, there are special mats to stand on concrete for this distressing affect. However, better to find another flooring area to stand on and avoid the painful feet and legs distress.

      Some ppl really don't need to be there. Idc the dpt. Worst time to ever not be able to get over yourselves. But I dont have the varicose veins. I see the veins a bit more in my chest tho. When they're like u taking any drugs? Me: yeah... sure. Prenatal, iron, more iron, calcium, fish oils, maybe low dose of advil. but I randomly will be thinking water tastes absolutely fantastic. And I chug it too. It even feels good on my heart. But yeah, it does suck being pregnant. I get out of breath for nothing. I'm in the latest trimester & will still feel/ get sick. And ud think I'd be tired... no, she just won't stay still. Which sure, that's cute. But imagine walking around w/ that weight on u. My sleeping is incoveniently selective. Sometimes I feel like I gotta hold my belly up just to walk. Walking on swollen feet, of course. My feet don't have a sharp pain. It's just uncomfortable. But they do feel itchy 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

    This is a great video! I pulled a groin muscle years ago and never really healed, now the trouble has propagated to my knee, and I really have to concentrate on keeping my foot straight when walking. knee/ foot /toes want to turn out away from midline. Listening to how your feet hit the ground helps you know if you're doing better or not. Making a point of good upright posture when walking identifies the tight spots too. Interesting, I tried the walking uphill backwards and I could feel it all around both hip joints. I do this every morning for about 1/4 mile, halfway through my morning walk.

    In 1993, my sophomore year of high school, I rolled my right ankle so badly that it swelled to the size of a softball. Days later, when they were able to do an x-ray after some of the swelling went down, we found out I didn't break anything, it was all soft tissue damage, told there was nothing that could be done and I was placed in a walking cast and given pain meds, anti-inflammatories, and physical therapy. For 15 years I would randomly re-injure it, and be told the same thing, "You didn't break anything but you have the arthritis of a 90 y/o in that ankle. Here's some pain meds, anti-inflammatories and a script for PT". One dr finally said I had to be seen by an Orthopedic surgeon, so after 15 years the ankle was FINALLY, well, if not fixed, much better. The surgery took almst 3 hours, they had to do so much to fix the damage to my ankle. I was told by the ortho that I should have had something done with it months after the injury.
    I have also had a large lipoma taken off the top of my right foot, and in that SAME SPOT 2 years later I had surgery to remove bone spurs from the top of my foot. I now have some lovely scars on both feet from those surgeries, and have been told that permanent scar tissue/arthritis will be a lifelong issue.
    On top of that, I have MS, have been diagnosed for going on 24 years now. Several of the medications we found out I am "allergic" to, as they made my feet/legs/ankles swell like balloons. The swelling went down as soon as I stopped the medications. However, for several years now I have not been able to wear any type of "regular" shoe. I can only wear mens sandals, as they are the only thing that will fit around the giant things I call ankles. I would love to be able to take down some of my leg swelling, but at this point I fear it's permanent because of all the abuse I had to put my legs through, thanks to all my pother weird issues.

Within a few weeks I could tell it was coming from my calf. It’s been months now and nobody seems to know what’s going on. They checked for a clot but there isn’t one.

Was told it was lymphedema but after 30+ years later was told it was CVI. Now I'm unsure where/why there is a blockage but would like a Lymphogram/Lymphoscintigraphy or Venogram to pinpoint and hopefully correct the issue. Swelling goes down overnight but eventhough I religiously wear compression stockings it's back by 5p. Therefore I elevate, do calf pumps, lost 40 lbs, and even had my GSV closed with no success.

    Phenomenal information and so are you.
    I opened Transcripts to take screenshots. Now I have notes in photos so I can read from there.
    Everyone needs to understand, this can be a team sport. Work with a buddy to keep motivated, and share information.
    I had big improvement when I started using oils as compresses. Not windshield wiper approach, use the oil of choice, drape and cover,
    relax. Cotton rounds or clean white tea towel. The body heat builds up, it’s a heavenly break.
    Lymphatic system is vastly under appreciated. Lymph drainage, care of the lymph glands, it’s overlooked too often. If the area hurts when pressed…it’s not supposed to. Using massage and emollients and heat will work at softening the structures.

    👍🏽the part of our body that takes all our weight, supports us through gravity, can take a pounding and deserves all our love (but more often than not, doesn't get it!)
    Brilliant video! I'm mature and I know my feet need all the love. Thank you for the advice!

    Strengthening all the muscles (big and small) in legs, ankle, and feet is extremely important. Wearing shoes that apply constant arch support weakens those muscles over time increasing your chances of tearing a ligament or twisting an ankle or even worse. People need to be walking barefoot more often. If you have to wear shoes then go with the barefoot shoes.

    I was told that we should never massage our legs downwards. It may cause vein problems. Always massage our legs upwards.

  • @garethsmith7628
    @garethsmith7628 8 месяцев назад +2

    I am 57 and I had no problems until I walked into aome wood and got splinters in my shins leading to golden staph infection in both legs. this was during lockdown. Took almost two years to clear.
    I have ended up in hospital twice on strong IV antibiotics because I get a bit of swelling, but main problem is my feet curl up side to side like an arch and push up the bone for the middle toe, cuts off circulation and I get like some gangrene in those toes. I aso have dry discolored skin from half way down the calf.
    I have had cat scans, ultrasounds etc and they find no vein or artery problems, blood sugar is slightly high but not much, but the curling of the foot is very painful and the sores on the toes are hard to control and the curling up of the foot is constant pain many days. I take magneisum, tumeric with black pepper, compression socks, tried stretching etc, the only thing that really seems to do much is stay totally off my feet.
    It seemed to start with cramps/knots in the lymph system down the outside of my calf, from the knee down, I raised this with every doctor, including a bunch of specialists and they seem to all ignore this info about how it started to develop, but remain otherwise mystified. In the early days I could massage just these knotted points and get good relief and see the swelling go down as you watched.
    It's at the point where I am not really interested in wasting any more time with the doctors because it is near zero result, many conflicting explanations etc etc, at least some of them are bullshitting because they can not possibly be all correct. Plus it is very time consuming and expensive, even with top health cover (Health insurance in Australia is not really insurance, it only covers part costs, you just cannot get insurance that covers full costs).
    About the only thing that seems to bring relief other than total rest with elevated feet is I got an electric vibrating massage unit, 24VDC, from a massage chair and vibrate my feet fairly intensively and get some temproary relief, but maybe a hour.
    Could this really be just from a long lived golden staph infection, or was that maybe a coincidence?
    What to do?

      Try eating a large green salad every day. Like one entire bagged salad kit. That will get rid of the swelling. Also take a total mineral supplement like from Youngevity. Start putting an ointment with silver in it on any inflamed areas. Like Curad silver. Best wishes. I feel your pain and it has to be scary.

    I've always had bad feet. In 2009 I had a triple fusion on my right foot due to pain caused by a painful talocalcaneal coalition. So now that foot is rigid because of the 3 "pins" in it. The left foot isn't much better. Both feet are flat and pronated due to ( hallux valgus/ hammer toes). Now because of my toes, my right knee is turned inwards and painful. I am now 60, around 200 lbs and female. I used to work mostly standing jobs but I haven't worked since 2019 Sept but still have ongoing foot issues. Your info however is great and very helpful. Any tips are appreciated! Thank you!👍🏽☺️

      Hi. Thank you for sharing your story! I have got flat feet and my foot issues have gotten progressively worse over the years. I replied on someone else's post about carnivore diet possibly helping swelling. I just wanted to mention a quick (fun!) fact that i read the other day , something i had not heard of yet ( and i read about it a lot!) Anyway someone mentioned that after going carnivore, i believe it was 8 months, but they said their flat feet began to "normalize". It made me want to give it a shot. Tons of other health benefits to be had as well. Facebook group zeroing in on health has lots of info and people sharing their results. I hope something will help you!!!!

    What if swelling occurs during the day, but when you go to bed and wake up in the morning the ankles are completely normal. Should I be concerned?
    It used to only happen to 1 ankle, but now it's both of them 24/7. Doesn't matter if I'm on my feet or not. They're just constantly swollen...

    • @KandiceKan
      @KandiceKan Год назад +2

      This happened to me when I was 9yrs old. At first it was the left foot, then it went down and up came the right foot. By the time I was 14, it was both. I’m now 43 and no one can tell me anything. My father suffered from the same thing. I just read recently that it may have been a genetic mutation that occurred before I was even born. In the winter or when it’s cold, they go down a lot. If I gain weight, stand on my feet all day or if it’s really warm, they get really big. It’s exhausting!
