    Always talk with your doctor if you suspect decreased blood flow in your feet. It's important to keep your feet healthy! You may be interested in our video on Improving Blood Flow In Your Legs & Feet, Without Exercise too! th-cam.com/video/W4e251A31_8/w-d-xo.html

      Hi Bob and Brad! Question for you guys, (maybe for a video sometime?) Are full range of motion front / lateral raises with dumbbells good for your shoulders? Or can they cause long term damage? (I.E raising a dumbbell from your hips the entire way up above your head with straight arms.) Thanks!

    As a diabetec, it's very important to check everything about the feet, very often. Don't 🛑 wait for the doc appointment every 6 months, or once a year.
    In the winter nearly everyone keeps socks, shoes, etc. on their feet
    24/7. Diabetecs MUST look at their feet, at least once a week. ✅

    As always, really useful advice, thank you so much! An additional tip: You can check how much your toenails grow on the different toes; this might give hints about regions of the foot with reduced circulation or with some challenge. I have put red nail varnish on all my toenails after my 5th metatarsal break so I can see whether that is growing out, and lo! the small toenail is not growing (yet).

    Thanks guys! I always thought I had bad blood flow in my feet and hands because they get colder a lot easier than the rest of my body. I actually have great blood flow in my feet. My skin turns back to pink within 1-1/2 seconds.

      Just my opinion as a diabetec..... Poor circulation can turn bad in just a week. Maybe mark some type of calendar 📅 & thoroughly inspect his feet once per week. ✅

    Hey bob and brad, I have a question about healing a bad hamstring strain. I pulled it initially about 8-9 months ago and I have been resting it with light use such as playing basketball, jogging, and very light stretching. Do you have any advice on healing my hamstring? Thanks.

    • @abbierose2278
      @abbierose2278 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      If I may, basketball and jogging don't seem like light activity for the hamstrings at all, especially if you've got tight hip flexors and weak glutes. Even stretching isn't necessarily great for healing a strained muscle. You're probably continually reinjuring yourself without realizing. I was having some hamstring pain for awhile. What helps is to stop stretching and instead stretch and strengthen the glutes and hip flexors.

  • @abbierose2278
    @abbierose2278 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    I didn't understand the pulse test. Are you checking whether you have a pulse, or how strong it is? How fast it is? If it's about speed, how fast should it be?

    • @lindasue8719
      @lindasue8719 ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @bonniepaschal8260
    @bonniepaschal8260 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    Fun fact: my husband wore (cheap) knit polyester uniform pants for years. And the fabric actually wore the hair off his calves! So, note to Brad, this could be from socks or whatever. Or not. 🤷

    • @wientz
      @wientz ปีที่แล้ว +1

  • @tommyssidequests
    @tommyssidequests ปีที่แล้ว

    Hello Bob & Brad,
    How can you tell the difference between costochrondritis and a slipped rib?
    If I stand in a somewhat slouched position and try to touch my chest with my chin, I experience a sharp pain in the centre of my chest. Also, if turn/twist to the left side (where I fell) it feels significantly tight, and in normal life if I sit up after sleeping, I feel a tear like pain where my sternum is.
    Asides from the information above, I feel very sore and tender under my arm pit if I was to touch it / or put force, the same goes for the centre of my chest.
    Every now and then I feel a sharp pain from the left and right pectorals and sometimes some pain and aching in my back in-between the shoulder blades.
    Thanks a lot,
    Tommy

      No, but women do have a little bit of hair on the big toe. If your natural hair color is lighter, it’s less noticeable.
      My own experience- younger self had to periodically shave big toe.
      Post menopausal self has no hair on big toe anymore, and sparse hair on legs now.
      I’ve wondered if that’s due to my age, or circulation,
      or maybe both??
