Edema: Swollen Feet, Swollen Ankles & Swollen Legs [FIX Them FAST!]

[@YSLRD]

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 KZbin. 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.

[@s.winfrey]

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. ❤

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.

[@TheMovieAuthorityChannel]

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 KZbin too. Hope this helps.

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!

Super high risk of cellulitis. I've had about 20 cases of cellulitis in my life. Almost had to have leg amputated 3 times. Fix was strong IV antibiotics in the hospital. Not fun

[@fredsmith2299]

Ken you are right lymphedema is real .... and all these thing will help a bit .... but one true cure is taking enzymes to help digest protein (protease) and protein carries water ... I have seen this work in 5 people .... with no other therapy ... docs don't believe in nutrition ...sorry ...

[@sdube001]

I had severe arthritis in my leg joints, making me sit a lot and avoid moving. Prior to eventually getting all hip and knee replacements, I also had 4 bouts of cellulitis that forced hospital stays. My mother passed during the first bout. Fortunately before she passed, we had been put in the same hospital, so I did see her a final time. But since all my surgeries, I move more, go to the restroom without trying to hold it, etc., and I haven't had a bout in 8 years now.

[@wayneharrison5877]

Please believe what I'm about to tell you and research it. It could save your extremities. Regrettably, many doctors promote amputation rather than this, because few know about it. It's called Hyperbaric Oxygen. You may have heard of scuba divers needing Hyperbaric Oxygen to survive a diving accident. But it also saves extremities. When you lay in a Hyperbaric Oxygen chamber, it sends oxygen into your body at a cellular level and kills viruses and bacteria. It increases blood flow throughout the body. Dr. Gunnar Heuser was my doctor and was published in the New England Journal of Medicine about his solvent poisoned patients with Toxic Encephalopathy and the benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen for to increase blood flow to the brain and throughout the body. I know a teenager who was injured playing football and his leg was not healing. Doctors were advising amputation. I made sure he knew about Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments, so he asked his doctors to prescribe it. After receiving Hyperbaric Oxygen treatments, his leg was saved and he recovered. Few doctors know about Hyperbaric Oxygen chambers. It is sad that some insurance requires 2 extremities amputated first before authorizing it, when Hyperbaric Oxygen could save the extremities from amputation. Best wishes to you all. Please research Hyperbaric Oxygen, because doctors don't even know what it is. I did it and fell asleep in the chamber. I awoke rejuvenated, energized, and felt like I had just experienced the best rest that I'd had in decades.

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

This is the first podcast I've seen that actually accurately describes lymphedema. My wife had it that was actually a complication for a major surgery and she basically needed a particular type of lymphatic massage to try and keep the fluid moving to where it could be released but because she was not mobile it built up and I think her heart eventually failed because of it

Soak your feet in tepid water but add a cup of white vinegar. The vinegar works wonders on swollen feet and ankles

[@George10767]

My partner and I both suffered from edema (oedema) in our old age (80s). The NHS (in the UK) says this is due to excess fluid in the blood, probably due to heart conditions (from which we both suffered). The standard NHS treatment is to prescribe diuretics to induce excess urination and thereby extract water from the blood. My partner died last year due to kidney failure, for which I blame the diuretics. I so wish I had stopped her taking these because edema does not cause death but diuretics probably cause kidney failure (in the long term). Also they reduce the quality of life to zero because the patient is virtually chained to the toilet and can't go out of the house. My own edema was cured when my doctor changed my blood pressure medication from (previously prescribed) Amlodipine to Lercanidipine. It took about six months but it disappeared completely.

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 🤔🤷🏻‍♀️

GOUT - you did not mention swelling due to gout. My gout symptoms tend to start in a big toe, then 'travel' around my foot. Compression, elevation, Epson salt baths, and rubbing generously with Blue Emu cream is what I do for a gout flare-up - after taking anti-inflammatory meds.

[@nikenpermanasari2224]

I will give you my advices regarding the swollen body parts as my experiences. 1. eliminate processed sugar from your diet to 0% subtitute it with raw food. 2. eliminate salt from your diet to 90% 3. Avoid high heat or processed food. 4. Cook your own food as simple as possible. 5. You had better eat organic and non go raw Vegetables, fruits and nuts. Best with water source (cucumber, celery, squashes, pumpkins etc.) 6. for meat, Lamb or goat is the best or fish and seafood. 7. Take lot of vitamin C 8. Have morning sunlight 9. Walk for 15-30 minutes daily 10. Take cold press black seed or olive oil, chlorophyll. 11. Detox your liver 12. Believe in God, the Almighty, He is the Best and Ultimate Healer, without His permission, nothing will work.

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.
