Man my right leg has been swollen for 2 years now and I have seen 3 sep doctors. I even begged for a X-ray bc google told me it could be a blood clot. X-ray showed all looked ok I guess and im still worried about it. Do you guys recommend I ask for other test? Im a female in my early 30s,.. I just want my leg to go back to normal. 😔
Love the channel guys! 🙏🏼💛 be well.
I had peroneal tendon repair and deepening back in April 24 and I’ve been getting Epedema and did an ultrasound and x-ray and it shows epedema surgeon isn’t worried at all but I don’t know is this normal?
I appreciate you guys so much!
Thank you both for keeping the video coming.
Bob keep on going! You are truly inspiring with all that you are going through.
You’re the coolest therapist in the internet! In my opinion!!
We appreciate that!
Good to see you Bob!!! Many prayers for the both of you!!! 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks for the awesome videos!!! 😁
I was suffering with pain and swelling in one leg. Had ultra sound done and blood work, nothing found to be wrong. It turned out I had some pinched nerve and L4/L5 disc issues. Took muscle relaxer and ice pack, and in the morning things popped back in and leg swelling went away. Glad it wasn't blood clot
Which muscle relaxer. Please share 🙏
Um share your DIY cus my doctors don’t wanna check me they wanna wait a little longer to see if heals on it’s own Smfh rn I’m having ice packs on my legs 😊😢😢😢
Had a back injury a few years ago and still have some pain but manageable. Recently, my left leg started to swell, and I have planter fascitis. Had an x-ray and ultrasound, and nothing was found. My doctor said it was probably from my back injury. Have been prescribed tramadol, gabapentin and celecoxib. It has really been a toss-up trying to figure out which one works the best.
I use compression stockings most of the time
So glad I found you two! For some reason since last year this time my joints have been giving me fits. Thx to you guys I've learned how to wrap, exercise and basically cope with these new maladies! Ugh!
We're so sorry to hear that, glad we could help!
Did you start taking blood pressure meds? Or sometime to burden your kidneys?
I went to the doctor today and I have arthitis and my tendons are gone in my right foot. Thank you for the video
There’s also LIPEDEMA and LIPOLYMPHEDEMA that causes swelling and a cuff-like appearance Around the ankle. Medical professionals seem to not know about lipedema, which is beyond frustrating to those who suffer from it.
That's understanding!
I have edema In both feet, went to er, they did a bunch of tests, X-ray’d my chest and ankles, ultrasound on both legs from groin to ankles, took 4-5 vials of blood, checked vitals often. They said no clot, they don’t think it’s heart or lungs, not physical injury, might be vein related but they don’t know what it is that’s causing it. They gave me no meds and the instructions on the paper work said cut salt and water, elevate legs, use compression sock, check with my primary dr, get more tests done. 8 hours, long day.
Same exact thing just told me lose weight n wear compression socks 1 yr later feet still swell like hams
Me too. It was gout. Uric acid was high. I changed my diet, but there are drugs too. I gave up gluten, sugars, etc.
DrWilliam Li video on fatty liver or kidney over consumption of liquids , watch and listen to him and consider diet changes . He makes a lot of good points that may give you answers . We do not realize what we bring on our health by what we do !
Hi everyone I'm writing this comment to share my experience and thinking if someone might be helpful with my comment. Even my ankles, figures started getting swelling and slowly my whole body started getting swelling and I was worried completely and was in a dilemma and consulted doctor and took medicine but then too did not get the solution to my problem then started researching what's the solution for it. The problem was myself I was drinking excess water in day and sitting at one place in office without moving that water started storing in my body and was linking out of my body tissues and that caused swelling. If anybody facing same problem drinking excess water please stop it and try to have as your body requires.
Da nije limfedem? Znam slučaj da nisu dr. otkrili uzrok oticanja jednog stopala, pa noga ispod koljena, pa sada isto na drugoj nozi, dogurao je do limfedema trećeg stupnja i nema potrebe za hospitalizacijom,50 kg viška zbog zastoja limfe, a limfologa nema u cijeloj Republici. Do drugog stupnja vaskularni kirurzi i drugi stručnjaci koje smo obilazili nisu znali u čemu je problem. Nažalost kod punkcije moždane srži u nekoliko pokušaja i pucanja igle očito je ozlijeđena limfa.
Thanks it makes sense what you explained. I think I’m getting too much water in me. I don’t move a lot either. By the way I drive transport trucks and in my 27 years it has never occurred till now. I will start not to over drink water hope it helps. Thanks in advance.
I love you guys. The best informative video that I have ever watched. Keep up the good work.
Thanks for the support!
I have 3 herniated discs, L3-L5. Ever since I got injured in 2007, my left leg swells and it hurts my knee and ankle. My swelling has pitting but ONLY in my left leg. I don’t want any surgeries to my back because I’ve only seen examples that say surgeries make the whole back issue worse. Drinking water, working out…nothing takes the swelling away for good. 😢
Have you seen a chiropractor maybe they can help. I don't blame you for not wanting the surgery. I've had two in that area and I hated it! I'm having issues with my left hip and shooting pain down into my knee. They keep saying it's just arthritis I don't believe it. Today I noticed that my left ankle is a really swelled. And my pain level is crazy high today. My right one's a tad but swell but not like my left. I also had fractured my back a few years ago right around my surgery site believe it was the vertebrae right underneath of it. That was not fun. They wanted to put concrete in that vertebrae because I had a compound fracture. I refuse that. I just didn't think that that should be in my body. I don't know how it's healed since then I'm going to assume it got better but I don't know what kind of damage it had left. Because I've had nothing problems with my hip and my knee. My second surgery they had removed all the hardware they put in the first time and then they added a cage. And when standing I have issues and pain. And that's usually for long periods of time. So I've got to walk or I have issues with pain shooting down my legs. So yeah I would find a really good chiropractor like these guys maybe they would be able to put those herniated disc back in without hurting you. And I would definitely have them take x-rays and your doctor should be doing MRIs on you.
Hello, I love all your videos. I realise this may not be the correct way to ask. these questions as I have 2 questions that do not relate to this video. I am a disabled 61 year old male. I have numerous health conditions including Crohn's disease, an Ileostomy, severe Osteoporosis, 2 crushed vertebrae in my spine etc etc the list goes on. On top of all of these other health conditions I have suffered Chronic Insomnia since 1996. I am a wreck. I am 61 but most of the time feel 80. First question do you have any tips for treating chronic insomnia that work ( I have tried everything including medication. without success ) ? A huge contributor to my insomnia is the fact. that I also suffer from restless leg syndrome. This is huge, huge problem when it comes to insomnia. It's impossible to sleep with restless legs. And my second question is do you have any tips for treating restless leg syndrome that work ( I have tried everything except medication without success ). I hope you do get the chance to answer my 2 questions as I know you are both extremely busy. Thank you from Ireland.
Restless leg can be from a lack of magnesium. Take a cup or two of Epsom salt (which is 100% magnesium) dip a washcloth in it and apply by running it up and down your arms and legs before you go to sleep. It will dry quickly. Magnesium is taken in by the human body best through the skin.
If you take baths, throw a few cups of Epsom salt in there too.
There are multiple types of magnesium to read about. Try taking oral magnesium glycinate 400 mg 2x a day too.
Good luck! 🙂
I am not a doctor but the conditions you mention are apparently linked to metabolic issues. Dr. Berg has many videos on Many such conditions and how to fix them. Hope that helps and you can get better soon…
@@clovis2240 Thank you so much for your advice. I will try what you suggested
We pray the Lord Jesus Christ guide, comfort, and.heal you.
If I get my walking in no problem. 3-4 miles a day. If I don't feet and ankles balloon up.
Good morning. Hi, guys. Due to flat foot problem for last 4-5 years, my ankle of only left leg pains a lot while walking 👍
We're sorry to hear that. We have a couple videos on our channel on flat feet if you want to check them out!
I’ve had flat feet, fallen arches and skinniest feet you’ve ever seen.
It’s given me horrible problems for years. 😢
Thank you guys. Always right on target
Glad we could do it for ya!
Thanks for the tip about Tubigrip! I'm 6'2" ~180# and the size E is perfect. Compression socks are too tight for me to wear, so this is a great way to get some gentle compression. The Tubigrip is comfortable and is really helping with my foot/ankle swelling! Kudos to Bob for hanging in there!
It would be nice to have some tips on how to strengthen an ankle that was sprained (several years ago...) and has never fully recovered (still weak and some pain). Thanks!
Yes! Mine is constantly paining me recently.
Here's a video you can try out!

@@BobandBrad thank you so much from Ireland 🇮🇪☘️
I have slight swelling in my left ankle since Sept 2020 when I got a kidney stone on that side. It's not bad , no pitting. Just annoying when my Uggs are too snug on that side😮💨
We're so sorry to hear that!
Thanks B&B. I have found a bag of frozen peas fits contours well and makes an excellent ice pack.
Just don't eat the peas 😅
Of course!
God bless both you great guys.
Doctor I take two of those me now I know why my feet are swelling now Gabapentin and pioglitzone thank you
I had a caused DVT from birth control. The scarring in the vein is often sore and my leg swells by the end of the day. I use compression sleeves by Incrediware or compression socks by Sockwell when we are traveling. Walking helps but doesn’t solve the swelling.
@@niceshot7289 agree plus more potassium and magnesium.
My father has high blood pressure has a swollen feet and every time he walks or try to exercise on bike hurts. Even its like when he stands up on walker and feel tired after 5 to 10 seconds. Sometimes he needs help to get up and especially when it rains or cold.
How do you cure 12 hour shifts, 4 days a week on concrete.
How about the use of compression socks?
I asked the same thing they don’t answer.
👍 thanks guys 💜 Australia
You're welcome!
Wow both of my legs swells and the doctor doesn’t know what it’s from but she said it could be bad circulation so I guess I should go to the doctors and do more testing
Sooo, my son is 30 years old, & is average weight for 6' 2" male. He had covid 19 in December, & lasted almost 3 full weeks.
Middle of May, he can't even walk/stand on his right foot at all. Very painful for him. Then, 4-5 days later, he could barely breathe! Said his chest was hurting bad, etc.
He is taken to ER, & guess what? The doc found a DVT behind his knee.
Then, an hour later, doc found a P.E. in his lung!!
Basically scared us all, & & NO ONE, on either side of family ever had any DVT's, OR, P.E.'s, etc.
A week or two later, his doc said that he has more than 100 young men with exactly the same issue.
Believe it or not, COVID is what has caused all those DVT/PE. Absolutely crazy.
His doc told him the ONLY reason he didn't die, was due to his very strong heart. ✅
Which of the shots did he have?
.
idk why this would be surprising to be caused from that. it can cause all kinds of things. there are over 900 pages that prove the vid was created and released and used as a weapon. so makes perfect sense. hope your son is ok. sending you and your family lots of love healing.
That doc is wilfully ignorant. It isn't covid that's causing this. It's a strong auto-immune reaction of the body to the virus AFTER having gotten the shots. The people who got these might be in danger from this for the rest of their lives...
So he did or did NOT have the vaccine ?
Are you guys familiar with Lymphapress for extremity lymphedema?
Compression socks are good for lymphedema. Bambas socks are great.
Yes!
Sorry to be off subject, but how many people have you seen after knee replacement 3 months later are disappointed by surgery limitations and have pain? Thank you.
Had some veins removed ... because of swelling and spider veins early 30's ... still swelling 6 yrs later.
There are several videos here on TH-cam saying that RICE slows healing. Who is right?
I having left foot pain for the last 4 years . I have swelling on the exterior of the foot and ankle. I have no sprain, no lymphedema , no broken bones( it’s been xrayed). The doctors have also told me there is no arthritis and all the foot and ankle bones are in place. It’s ONLY in the left foot. Do you have any idea what I should do next? Or what could be causing all this pain.
Maybe you have a nerve damaged in your left leg...do you have any numbness and tingling ?
@@mariuszp4530 no I don’t have that!
I experienced similar issue. Turned out to be herniated L4/L5 disc. Nerves and things were being pinched and affecting circulation.
What about lymphedema (both feet) as a result of radiation treatment for cervical cancer? A long term side effect. Have you heard of that?
Thanks!
Thanks!!! Positive vibes sent your way!
Bob
Nursing home did this to my grandmother her feet and ankles were swollen and I have photographic proof so I took her out 4 days later and it’s resolved
My husband got a bad sunburn & now is having his lower legs swelling.
Dr Ejemhen can help..
How about swelling of the thighs just above the knees? Is it too much sodium?
Superb
Thanks!
nice
Thank you for this video I’ve been in hospital for a week with pneumonia but I’ve noticed I have oedema on top of my right foot & I can’t get my shoe on any pointers please ?
How do u spell the bandage wrap that begins with a "C" ?
I just googled it and what I found is spelled “comprilan”
@@__therealnene__ thx u dear 👌

DVT

Can it be from an old sever injury to a ankle? I mean like 30 or 40 years ago.

Hello guys i need your help for leg swelling
I have lots of sandals and clogs and strappy shoes during the summer. Can I use the tubigrip pass my foot where the tubigrip sits just above my foot up to under my knee cap?
My special needs sister's left leg was chronically swelled, and was recently found to have something called May-Thurner Sundrome. They just did surgery a few weeks ago and put a stent in, so we're hopeful that fixes it.
Best wishes!
I sprained my ankle 6 weeks ago. Its been 6 weeks but it is not healed completely. The swelling goes down in morning but again swelling increases gradually during the day. There is no fracture, also there are no red bruises around the ankle. Why is it not healing? What should I do? Please tell me.
Are you better now?? What helped you
What if the swelling comes and goes? Mostly not, then for a day or so, then gone?
I really need some answers. I just had a baby a week ago, I started to swell in my feet and ankles in my 6th month, it spread to my legs and thighs towards the last 2 months of pregnancy. My doctor seemed somewhat concerned but I have normal blood pressure, and no shortness of breath or any other symptoms other than some pain when pressed upon. My feet have swollen so much that I haven’t worn actual shoes in about 4 months.
I am one week postpartum and the swelling in my legs all the way up to my pelvic bone but mostly in my lower legs are swollen worse than ever. My lower legs and feet are shiny, the skin continues to flake and my skin feels hot, and there is redness. Any sort of pressure feels like pins and needles. Although my legs look pretty bad, I got an ultrasound and there are no clots or anything wrong other than the retention. We don’t understand why I am retaining so much fluid, especially since I am not working anymore, and I am not on my feet too much throughout the day.
I have been elevating my legs at night and sometimes during the day, and when I get up it feels like sand bags that are slowly pouring back down into my feet… even though it’s not supposed to be sand.. it is fluid right? Soooo my lower legs are so badly swollen that I have pits that won’t go away, I have red scales and flakes.. they burn constantly and it’s super painful if something bumps into them. I have been taking water pills, inflammation pills, pain pills, lower sodium intake, drinking lots and lots and lots of water daily, elevating feet/legs at night, and just today finally got my compression stockings. I’ve been wearing my stockings for about 8 hours now.. and i don’t see too much of a difference besides the tops of my feet.. it isn’t as puffy anymore.
Can you’ll help me figure out what this is?
Go to Dr Robert Morse- he has a TH-cam channel - or Medical Medium

I used only a herb, raspberry leaf, when I swelled during child bearing term, and formed, it worked very quickly. Not Bigelow tea bags which include other herbs, but, by itself, alone, and not in any bag form.
I had trauma to my left knee and ankle when my chiropractor pulled on my ankle to loosen it.
Now both my feet and lower legs are swollen, it hurts to walk, toes won’t move well and it’s painful.
My fingers are also swollen in the morning and painful.
Any ideas or suggestions are appreciated!
Thank you!
Recuperare.
i have atrial fib but its barely noticable. I exercise by walking. Curious if having frozen my feet several times as a kid growing up would contribute to this. I started taking magnesium aling withvmy nirmal meds multivitamin seems to help
What if both feet and toes swell at night but not the ankles? Skin just feels tight but if you elevate at night, in the a.m. they are fine.
I am still on the hunt for my cause.
I have lymphedema in both legs. It's awful. They are super swollen and I've tried to get them to reduce and try to get my lymph nodes working again but nothing works. Early on I had pt and custom made wraps but couldn't get any relief.
Have you had manual lymph drainage massages? Used a compression pump?
I have a question. What type of exercise would you do for stage 3 Pttd.
Having surgery March 21,2023
Could Sciatica cause it too?
A lot of things can cause foot & ankle swelling, unfortunately.
Also mention venal insufficiency .
Hlo, sir, my lower legs part is paining and swelling when I'm walking. What can I do ?
My legs and ankles swell for a half day after a hard 5K run race, which is around 18:30, just below 6:00 pace. Does this indicate a heart issue like you mentioned?
When you have 4 million followers, you can afford a new microphone system
And to not mix brands. Adidas on Adidas or Nike on Nike. Come on 😂
What about gout?

ig im going to the dr
Read the book The Watchmaker's Daughter. She has to see the Concentration Camp doctor before she will be set free. He tells her she has Edema. He tells her she is not getting enough protein in her diet.
I was told I had edema
What if it’s none of those reasons? My doctor said cut in salt, move more, drink more water.
Durva Swaras from Planet Ayurveda helped reduce my swelling caused by edema. It’s been a relief to finally find something that works.
I didn't had an injury ..I'm 65 and always have this painful swelling behind my right ankle foot Whenever I consume any sweet and spicy foods ...I suffer severe inflammation and pain

Did not cover my drug-induced swelling?
"promosm" 🌺
You guys missed some swelling is due to medication.
yes - bp medication can cause ankle swelling ...
Also what foods you eat can trigger the swelling.

Sorry there is no cure, just a one-day fix then it starts again, so why put up with the daily pain, you can't do anything. Your old what do you have to look forward to at 70 years old, starting a family hahaha, your time is up so why wait and prolong the pain and discomfort, if you have someone ok but when you're alone why wait. I and another soldier at one time in the military saw a black shadow looking at me in my bunk, then it was gone, so don't fret there is another side, just cross over.
The fatal mistake: taken the poisoned needle. Most TH-camrs dont talk about the current 2030 slavery agenda - stupid people everywhere, all nano chipped
Do compression socks work. I have diabetes and now and then just my left foot is swollen and ankle.
