I had +3 pitting edema in my feet, ankles, calves, knees, and thighs. It came on suddenly. My doctor put me on the classic treatment of Lasix and Potassium. It didn't work. I started taking B1, decreased processed sugars, wore TED hose, as my feet felt like they were broken from the enormous pressure from the edema. Blood vessels ruptured, and the front of my calves split, the edema was so bad. I am not diabetic. I walk and exercise. Once I took control of my health....I stopped the Lasix & Potassium.....increased my Magnesium Taurate and B1 vitamin, along with B12.....the edema literally disappeared in 2 days. I lost 25 pounds in that time, too. My doctor was stunned that I cured myself. I am an ER/ICU/Trauma Nurse). Everyone should be more proactive in their own healthcare. Research, educate yourselves, and dedicate your life to your life. Thank you, Dr. Berg.....you ROCK!❤😊

Dr Berg notes Dr Berg talks about edema causes and remedies. Swollen legs are often a symptom of edema and are typically blamed on liver, kidney, or heart problems. Did you know that edema and pitting edema may be able to be fixed without a blood thinner or diuretic? Water retention in the lower legs is caused by a problem with the sodium-potassium pumps in your cells. If these pumps aren’t working correctly, water retention outside the cells, known as interstitial fluid retention, will occur. When you have swollen ankles, it’s usually the result of high blood sugar connected to the hemoglobin protein in your blood. This is called glycation, which inhibits the blood cell’s ability to carry nutrition and oxygen throughout the body. Glycated proteins can also block circulation, leading to swollen legs and swollen ankles. High blood sugar causes sodium retention, which also contributes to water retention. Over time, this can affect the nerves in the bottom of the feet, causing numbness and tingling, known as peripheral neuropathy. Even if you don’t yet have diabetes, edema can be caused by high blood sugar. To help eliminate edema, you must ensure you’re getting plenty of potassium, which can be difficult to achieve through diet alone. The average person needs 4700 mg of potassium daily! Avocados, salads, and berries can help you meet this requirement. You also need plenty of magnesium to help eliminate edema. Pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds, and leafy greens are good sources of magnesium. Aim for 420 mg of magnesium daily. High-quality electrolyte powder without hidden sugars can help increase potassium and magnesium intake. Vitamin B1 deficiency is likely behind issues with the sodium-potassium pump. For sugar to be turned into usable energy in the body, you need vitamin B1. Consuming too many refined carbohydrates can cause a vitamin B1 deficiency. Vitamin B1, potassium, and magnesium can help eliminate edema, but you must also eliminate sugar from your diet. Thank you Dr Berg! 😺👍

Remember that you cannot take magnesium, potassium, and calcium all together… Minerals compete with each other for absorption. Potassium would be a good way to start the day, have calcium* somewhere during the day (*always take vitamin D3 + K2/10,000 mg and 100 mcg, and then magnesium glycinate** at night. ** Women > 40 take 320 mg or so… Men > 40 take 420 mg or so. Magnesium helps you rest, so it is best to take it at night.

I've had a problem with edema , swelling, and pitting on my left leg for 27 years. I got it because of an injury to my left foot. One time I foolishly went out barefoot and I stepped on a sharp pebble; and that's when the swelling started. I've been to various doctors about it and been basically told that nothing can be done. There had been some brief times when it went away but it came back. Elevating can help, but it's hard to do constantly. I am retired from work and I had jobs where I sat for most of the day. I've always exercised with muscle training, bike riding, and some walking. It helped but it never went away. But lately, since I've retired, the swelling is less than it used to be and there are times when I would forget that I have that problem. Maybe I just need to see Jesus walking along a street and then I could touch his clothing, and it would go away. Wouldn't that be nice?

My feet and ankles have been swollen for a past couple of months. Did my blood work up and I am not diabetic. This is so timely, I am definitely going to what Dr Berg recommends.

[@deborahblount8571]

I did 8 months lymphedema therapy massages and had 2 appts weekly co pay $40 each time. I have seaping valves in lower ankles and due to sitting at desk working legs in same position bent. Going on two years now no swelling. My feet were soo huge unable to wear shoes but a slide in and compressions. I still wear them daily. I went to vascular Dr who referred me to do the therapy at Baylor. Wish I had seen this video I could have saved Hundreds of dollars. I don't eat a lot of those carbs however the lymph nodes were apparently clogged. She wrapped my legs get drainage out it definitely worked i am grateful. Now this invaluable information I will add into my food intake

Well done! Thanks for sharing your success story!

[@user-rz7cm2we3x]

I don’t think this video is about the lymph problem… With lymph gathering in the legs, (ankles, feet) it’s called non-pitting edema. I have it too. Only lying down for at least 8-10 hours helps me. I don’t take any medicines, except thyroid hormone - I have Hashimoto disease and probably hypothyroidism by now - this is probably the reason of this problem... I should wear special compression tights (have problems with varicose veins and aneurysms on veins too) but it’s much too hot for it in the place where I live, we have 35-37 degrees Celsius now still and some 85% humidity - there is a problem with putting these tights on AND with pulling them off😢 my hands are too weak for them. This video is about a pitting edema - different problem, different reasons, different ways of treatment. Take care!

[@shortdognate]

@@user-rz7cm2we3x Greetings. Pitting edema is just a measure of the severity of one's lymphatic drainage issue. I am one of those leg wrapping therapists you visited. And gradient compression and MLD is definitely the gold standard in reducing and controlling lymphedema. But do not be mistaken, this nutritional info is valuable and applicable to anyone with lymphatic issues. We should educate more on this, however no one seems to wants to actually change their diet significantly.

[@patwalker5133]

That is my problem this summer. In the past my feet have swollen a little during the summer heat but not as bad as this summer. Due to the leg fracture/immobility I have not been able to do even the most basic things like prepping my vitamin/pill trays. All the vitamins you mentioned, I have taken on a regular basis the last 10+ years. That's why I was so surprised at how bad the swelling was this year. Felt like I was walking on painful water balloons. I was worried the immobility from the fracture and the extreme temperatures were causing the swelling. Now I am even more motivated to get my trays done. Thank you for the information.

[@sophiam3923]

I am so happy that you made this video. No one ever talks about the swelling of ankles. I wished you would do such a video since you say things so well. I have swelling ankles since my pregnancy which has been 18 years ago. Do I have swelling 18 years now with no success in decreasing my swelling. I tried for the first time dieting since I became overweight after pregnancy but can’t lose. The reason honestly: I love food. So eating bananas, berries, Chia seeds, no sugar, no gluten and plant fiber good?

[@TheMartuco]

I don't get swollen ankles nor do my legs get swollen but if I lay down with my legs up they tend to start getting tingling sensation and my feet for some reason start getting stiff. I do take magnesium and nutritional yeast along with a trace mineral liquid but it doesn't seem to help. It could be my medication since I am a type 2 diabetic I'm taking ozempic and I'm taking metformin 2000 mg I'm not sure if that's causing my issue but I've had those feelings and my legs for as long as I can remember. Even as a teenager I used to get that. I was diagnosed that too when I was 45 years old

I was swelling for many years and the lower legs and feet were extremely swollen so to the point that if I got the smallest weakness in the skin the fluid started to leak out and running. I bought those electric feet and leg massage that athletes use and used them half an hour every day and after a few weeks my legs got less and less swollen. It is like that deep pressure massage kick started something. My legs have been fine now for 2 years except for minor swelling when it's really warm outside.

It’s crazy how I figured out to stop eating carbs in December 2023 when I realized my ankles wouldn’t stop swelling up. After a couple of weeks carb free, my ankles were fine.
