Hi Kelly, My name is Jennifer Law. I was wondering if you could recommend a good compression pant while I’m sitting in an airplane for 23 hours trip to Singapore and Vietnam. I’m afraid that both of legs cause lymphedema due to GIST cancer in 2019. Also, Do you have a free exercises video on KZbin Channel about legs, while I’m sitting in an airplane ride? My trip starts on 2-14-2024. Thank You.

Hi Dr. Kelly.. I m experiencing swelling and pain on my feet.. All tests are normal.. Is it because of poor blood circulation in my legs.. Please confirm??

@@samikshaagarwal5806 For feet swelling maybe it's because of poor blood circulation For pain on your feet check if you're standing in balance maybe you are standing on one leg left leg and sometimes standing on your right leg only🤔 check if your weight is within normal range for your height 🤗 massaging your legs every 2 hours may reduce pain You may consult internal medicine doctor or Physical therapist for your well-being 👌 May God always bless you with good health and happiness 😇

Legs up the wall for great circulation x 20 minutes duration. Health benefits are amazing..

I love how you explained the journey of the blood at the beginning. I usually just hear: the heart pumps blood but never understood that it needs help getting back up. I get the whole thing now. Big thank you.

being a long haul trucker i sit for 11 hours a day driving , i then go to the resturant eat then come out & go to bed , well after 20 years of this i found it hard to walk 50 yards without getting leg cramps . i tried a few vitamin s and more water . nothing helped more than the ankle pumps and stretching with a strap . my legs felt much better right away . thanks for the good advise !!!

I liked your comment and it's really encouraging. I too am an OTR DRIVER and I was thinking of getting the exercise/stretching band. I'm way overweight I'm in a lot of pain and what seems to help with that is soak in Apple cider vinegar. And ibuprofen. I know that doesn't fix this problem but it helps managing the pain until I can get started on a better diet and exercise routine. Anyways have a great day

[@gsadventures678]

Kelly, I could listen to to you talk all day. You are so professional and sweet!

[@sandythomas2837]

I am so grateful I came across your channel, Kelly. The intermittent swelling of my feet recently became more severe and isn't going away after a good night's sleep. Diuretic helps some, but I want to improve circulation as much as possible without rx's. CBC was good except for D3 so maybe that will help the feet. I was a healthy 67 yr old until a month ago. Now I'm stumbling around like a drunk and my feet hurt most of the time. Not how I want to be and scared it will get worse. Now I understand better what is going on and your videos, exercise, and detailed recommendations give me hope I can turn this around. I have always been a shallow breather for some reason. And when I am stressed, I find I hold my breath. I will strive to stay more hydrated. My weight and BP is good, thankfully,but I'm reducing salt and sugar. Ive cut back on sweet tea and ice cream. You've given me hope and I thank you so much!😊

[@CRHG1946]

I have found colostrum to be extremely beneficial to circulation in my feet.

[@stevecampos1960]

Remarkable how this video timely showed up in my KZbin feed. I’ve been dealing with plantar fasciitis pain for many months and the last few weeks I determined to daily do various exercises and stretches so that I could get back to walking and jogging, and it has really reduced the pain in my foot. Two things: 1) is there a reason you did not mention massage of the feet and lower legs (which seems to help with circulation); and 2) thank you for that explanation of compression socks/stockings. Recently I asked my wife of why and how they are beneficial (she didn’t know) and, boom, I stumble upon your video, which answered that question, and many others. Keep up the good content like this.

[@ABCABC-hd8iq]

Massage in lower leg is dangerous if you have blood clots (people could have them and not know it yet). Massage could cause the clot to break loose.

12 years back i have the same problem . My foot doctor scheduled me 4 or 5 times , finally he made insole . (computerized ) I used that one or two days and my pain shoots and unable to walk. and I paid almost $2000, out of pocket. for that garbage . Then I look on eBay find 2 or 3 $ of insole and started using that One week all pain gone. I don't know how long I used that . But after that am not using any more . No Pain

I do your Lynmphadema self massages especially on the toes, feet, and leg area; this loosens the stiffness and then I can do the stretches and excercises. Thanks so much for all your tips, God Bless you...😀

[@Wyn50]

That is bar none the best explanation I’ve heard of what causes blood flow and circulation issues. That is becoming more and more of a an issue for me so needs some action on my part. I eat healthy. That took some effort but I got there. I started making better food choices and counted calories. I lost over 100 lbs in the process and am keeping it off. I will watch this video again, take notes. Put a plan together and start moving.

I have back problems and I need this kind of help because my back hurts so much that sometimes I can barely walk. I injure my back years ago. It just got worse. I was also been having pain in certain parts of my body and I believe that this can help especially when it comes to circulation. Anytime you have an injury in your body it affects the circulation, especially when you got scars tissue

I will also be using your techniques to move the fluid away from lower legs toward the heard through lymphatic system. I learned a lot from you. I want to do squats and dead lifts and it is important for a man because these two exercises boost testosterone levels exponentially. I will take necessary precautions. Please give me your input!!

Thank you for this very brief, very clear, important information. And would appreciate it very much if you answer this question: for a healthy young person, the blood would flow up the veins without needing any exercises. What drives the blood upward in this case. Is it the blood pressure that stems from the heart? Are the arteries and veins connected at some points in the foot? I really need to understand this issue. Or it would be great if you could educate us on this in a separate video. THANKS.
