I had an Achilles tendon rupture and had surgery to repair it on Feb 24th of this year. My feet both swelled, especially the surgical foot. So did my legs. It felt like rubber bands were wrapped around them and they felt stiff. I was advised to elevate my feet when sitting or lying down. I have a recliner, but in addition I bought a wedged shaped cushion (inflatable, from Amazon for $20) This did the trick. I've kept my feet up on it whenever sitting or lying down. I sleep with it too. Reduced the swelling, no more stiffness/pain. I'm surprised she didn't mention this. I take oral magnesium every day (keeps me regular) and I do the exercises that she showed, on the chair. I had to stay off my foot for six weeks, so exercise is important for blood flow (tendons and ligaments are notorious for having poor blood flow, why they take a long time to heal). Also, exercise is important to keep muscles strong.
Thank you for sharing your experience and helpful tips! Elevating the feet, using a wedge-shaped cushion, and maintaining regular exercise are indeed valuable practices for improving circulation, reducing swelling, and supporting overall healing, especially after surgeries or injuries. It's great that you found these methods effective in your recovery process. Your insights can be beneficial for others going through similar situations. Keep up the good work, and best wishes for your continued recovery! 💪🩺🌟
Glad I found this video today. I suffer from severe pain in legs, and poor circulation in my lower legs. Also, a recent knee injury resulted in a minicus tear. 😢 For all these reasons, I have become relatively sedentary. These exercises should help strengthen my leg muscles and also serve as good general exercises. Don't know what else I cud do to ensure i dont gain weight, and remain active.
I'm glad you found the video helpful! These exercises can definitely help with strengthening your leg muscles and improving circulation. In terms of preventing weight gain and remaining active, incorporating regular physical activity into your routine (even low impact activities like walking or yoga) and following a balanced diet can also be helpful.
@@NaturalHealthResources my father has arteries 100% blocked under his Knees and feet. he can still walk a little bit, but it’s very painful. Doctor said there are new arteries growing but that amputation is very possible. Any suggestions that you might have for me, would be highly appreciated.

Well done video. Lots of good solutions related to circulation. Limph is a big issue and when it doesn't move it becomes problematic for swelling. The heart pumps blood and the movement of the body and calf muscles pump the limph fluid. Movement is the key.

I have had edema in my feet and lower legs for years, but no discoloration.. My right calf and foot have been particularly swollen Exercising helped somewhat. I bought a pair of pump boots a couple months ago. Within a few weeks I had marked improvement. I am hopeful I can achieve normality soon. I'll try the ginko and dry brushing. Ty.

It's great that you're also willing to try other natural remedies like ginkgo and dry brushing to further improve your condition.

Thank you, Dr. Melissa for your informative video. I'm a recent Covid widower. I walk regularly and jog several miles per week, but sometimes my legs feel heavy and cramp up at night as I sleep. In the last 10 years all my brothers and sisters have gotten blood clots in their legs, except me, and I would like to avoid this from happening. I will definitely take your advice to heart for better blood circulation in my legs. Thanks.
I have had cramping problems for quite a few years and it's getting worse. So I was tested at the hospital several weeks ago and it's not blood clots. You just have to observe what is causing the cramping. I believe my main problem is just overuse. Stop the running and see how that helps. Keep the walking.

Hi Doctor thank you very much for your tricks and tips I knew some but I learned new ones,I have circulation deficiency in my legs starting when I was around 30 years old now I’m 50 I do pumps like the ones you showed, I use compression socks,and I rest my legs 45 degrees angle 📐 but I’m a truck driver and I spend most of my day(10) hours sitting so I walk sometimes and do stretching but what I do like 3-4 days a week is weight training including heavy squats…and heavy lifting calf…is that bad? And what else do you recommend please like supplements and so on.appreciate it.
Man Rex - I drive a bus I have similar condition like yours and in my 60th...61. I can't wait to see what the doctor has to say about your question about weight training which I started to do that too but lightly. This is a new subscriber with thumbs 👍.
Make frequent stops to stretch , change position, PUMP ,twist, any type of different movements. Also don't forget the stockings!!! Also l understand the" Problem " but DRINK that water ! The body will swell up if you don't ( camel effect) .Be safe and healthy!

Took notes, having issues with spotting no swelling on ankles which feels prickly from 7 years of standing at fulltime job. I used compression socks but still happened to much standing. Not there anymore. Not working just resting for now. Dont want to work and injure myself anymore. Need different approach. I have cosmetology and office. So disappointing to not do what I want. So I tried the exercises and they really help!! Im adding to my am and pm exercise and routines! They seem to take away the feeling around that area! Thanks

How many reps and how many sets should one do when doing the exercises you recommend? Should they be done daily or more than once a day? Thanks for the video.
Thank you for your question. The number of reps and sets for the exercises recommended will depend on your current fitness level and goals. It's important to start slowly and gradually increase the number of reps and sets as you become more comfortable with the exercises. As for frequency, it's generally recommended to perform strength training exercises 2-3 times per week with at least one day of rest between sessions to allow for recovery. However, it's important to listen to your body and adjust the frequency and intensity of your workouts as needed.
@@NaturalHealthResources Thanks very much for your response. I'm in good overall shape and stay active. I'm learning to listen to my body, especially after my TKR surgery. 😃 2-3 times a week is about how often I do my strength exercises, for 2-3 sets and 10-12 reps per set. Thanks again. I did subscribe to your channel today.
You're welcome! I'm glad you found the exercise video beneficial for managing edema.

Certainly! The lymphatic system and blood flow are essential for bowel health, preventing hemorrhoids, and waste elimination. Proper circulation and hydration, along with a balanced diet, can help maintain these systems, reducing the risk of issues like hemorrhoids and constipation.
Dr Gallagher, thank you so much for what you do to help us. So many compression socks are difficult to put on. Is there one you might recommend? Thanks again.
Thank you for your kind words! I understand that some compression socks can be challenging to put on. I recommend looking for compression socks with a higher nylon or spandex content as they tend to be more stretchable and easier to put on. Additionally, socks with a wider opening or built-in assistance features, such as zippers or clasps, can also make the process easier. Remember to choose a compression level that is appropriate for your needs. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out. Take care!
Thank you Dr for the video! I have really really cold hands and feet to the point when I touch people they get shocked how cold they are! Sometimes it hurts how cold the are too especially my feet get a cold tingling sensation. I’ve been trying to take iron and see if it helps but I’m struggling.

What can you substitute for leg pump? In case of its unavailability what could give similar benefit? Is massaging of leg an option? Also, dead Sea salt not available, what's an alternative? Thank you so much!
If a leg pump is unavailable, there are some alternative methods that can provide similar benefits for improving circulation in the legs: 1. **Leg Exercises:** Simple leg exercises such as ankle pumps, leg lifts, and knee extensions can help stimulate blood flow. 2. **Walking:** Regular walking, especially with good posture and proper footwear, can promote circulation in the legs. 3. **Elevating Legs:** Elevating your legs above heart level for short periods can assist with blood return to the heart. 4. **Compression Stockings:** If suitable for your condition, compression stockings can help improve blood circulation in the legs. As for an alternative to Dead Sea salt, you can consider using Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) in your bath. Epsom salt baths are known for their potential benefits for muscle relaxation and circulation.

Hi Doc, my mom (84 yrs) has recently had a 2nd stroke and after a week her left leg has swollen quite a bit all the way up to her thighs. We’ve been told this is water retention due to lack of movement and it’s normal after a stroke. Please advise what’s the best way to treat this.
Keep her feet elevated during the day and when she goes to sleep at night put two pillows under her feet and see if the swelling goes down in the morning. I hope your Mom feels better

Great information, Dr. Melissa. There isn't a lot of lymphatic information in this realm. I had all the lymph nodes in my right leg removed due to melanoma. Would it help at all for me to do the exercises? Thanks for any input.
I'm glad you found the information helpful! Lymphatic health is often overlooked, but it plays an important role in our overall wellness. Regarding your question about lymphatic exercises, it's important to talk to your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise routine, especially if you've had lymph nodes removed. Your healthcare provider can evaluate your individual situation and provide guidance on what exercises would be safe and appropriate for you. You can also enroll in my LYMPHATIC masterclass PROMOTE YOUR LYMPHATIC FLOW FOR OPTIMAL WELLNESS- www.letyourlymphflow.com/

In these exercises most of the we take help from gravitational forces / pull. Gravitational pull tends to oppose the blood and lymphatic flow when we are upright sitting or standing. Then only movement of lower limbs or rythmic contraction and relaxation of the lower limb muscles help in maintaining the blood lymph flow to normal.
You're absolutely right, @mahmoodmirza3301! Gravity can indeed affect blood and lymphatic flow, especially when we're upright. That's why exercises that involve rhythmic movements and muscle contractions in the lower limbs can be so beneficial for maintaining proper circulation. Thanks for sharing your insights! 👍🏼💬

@@julegeorge5770 If your compression socks stop blood flow, I'd think it'd be because they are too small/too tight. After my total knee replacement surgery, I had to wear the thigh high compression hose on both legs for a few weeks and then on the surgical leg for a few more. My physical therapist recommended them when I take any long trips or fly.
The principles of compression garments can also apply to the upper body, and there are compression garments designed specifically for upper body use. These garments are often used for conditions like lymphedema or post-surgical recovery. Regarding concerns about compression socks cutting off circulation, it's crucial to select the right compression level and size. When properly fitted, compression socks should not cut off circulation but rather promote better blood flow and reduce swelling.

I have some questions 😊 For the vitamins, do we just follow dosages on the bottles? And for hiw long do we take them straight? 3 months , take months off? What's the regimen? And for the compression socks , I'm a size 13 do I get the Large or X large? And how often do I wear them? Day time? Night time? How many hours? Sorry for the questions......😊 I subscribed
No need to apologize for the questions! I'm here to help. For vitamins, it's generally a good idea to follow the dosages on the bottles. However, if you're considering higher doses or long-term use, it's best to consult a healthcare professional. As for duration, it varies. Some vitamins can be taken continuously, while others might be cycled. It's advisable to periodically review your supplement regimen with a healthcare provider. When it comes to compression socks, the sizing usually corresponds to your shoe size. For size 13, you might want to go with X-Large to ensure a comfortable fit. Compression socks are typically worn during the day, especially when you're more active. The exact hours can vary, but starting with wearing them during the day and gradually increasing the duration is a good approach. And thank you for subscribing! Feel free to ask more questions if needed. 😊

Recently twice I had an episode of breathlessness after exertion (several flights stairs and hike up steep hill) and felt this rushing feeling up my legs. Almost like I could feel the muscles trying to pump the blood up. It was very anxiety producing. I squatter my back against a fallen tree, arms bent spread wide opening my chest with elbows on tree. I took deep breaths. After a few minutes these symptoms went away. I'm afraid to go up that hill now. The other time happened in my kitchen and I sat down in the bathroom for a while. I'm taking nitrous oxide now.

I do see a vascular doctor currently and being tested by ultrasound to make sure I don’t have blood clots due to having pain in my right knee and right side. I will try the exercises you posted as well. Thank you!😊

I got diagnosed with pre tibial myxodema and also developed some diagnosed lymphodema. I was provided with suitable compression stockings for my lower legs and feet by my doctor. I have had this treatment for some years now. I have more recently got some spider veins and maybe the beginning of some varicose veins. I have been doing some foot and ankle exercises and will try some of the others. Thanks for your video.
You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear that you found the video helpful, and it's great that you're taking proactive steps to manage your condition. Foot and ankle exercises, along with compression stockings, can be valuable tools in addressing issues like spider veins and varicose veins. Remember to continue working closely with your doctor to monitor your progress and explore any additional treatments or lifestyle adjustments that may benefit you. Your proactive approach to your health is commendable! 😊👍 I recommend you check out my masterclass on LYMPHATIC FLOW.If you suffer from pain, swelling, or fluid retention, learning how to stimulate lymphatic flow can provide significant relief and improve overall health. www.letyourlymphflow.com/

My left leg often now feels cold. Not my right leg. Several weeks ago I discovered my left lower leg near ankle was wet! Turns out it was "leaking legs". Doctor sent me for various tests. No blocks. But beginning of varicose veins. Spider veins too. Not pleased with Dr's advice to keep doing what I do! I'm nearly 78 yes old. I wondered what have I stopped in my diet? Regular herbal drinks of nettle and oat straw . The other I stopped was dry brushing. Thank you for the information on your video.
I'm glad to hear that my video was helpful to you. It's interesting to hear that certain lifestyle habits, such as dry brushing and herbal drinks, may have an impact on your leg circulation.Best of luck to you!
How are you doing now? I had leaking legs this time last year. My legs would just drip water, making my pants below the knees wet. I've lost 50 lbs by cutting out the white sugar and white bread from my diet. Similar to keto, but not as strict. My legs got much better within 2 weeks!! I hope you've found a relief for yours by now.
@@nataliek6555 I am doing quite well thank you. No leaking legs although I often feel cold on my left leg but that's bearable. I avoid sugar except for baking I use rapadura sugar it has molasis otherwise I use raw local honey. I avoid white bread. I drink a few herbs especially for a very few varicose veins detected with the leaking leg. I take Gotu Kola so far it's doing wonders. Keep on going and being happy 🙋♀️💖🌷. Keep safe 🙏

I had an Achilles tendon rupture and had surgery to repair it on Feb 24th of this year. My feet both swelled, especially the surgical foot. So did my legs. It felt like rubber bands were wrapped around them and they felt stiff. I was advised to elevate my feet when sitting or lying down. I have a recliner, but in addition I bought a wedged shaped cushion (inflatable, from Amazon for $20) This did the trick. I've kept my feet up on it whenever sitting or lying down. I sleep with it too. Reduced the swelling, no more stiffness/pain. I'm surprised she didn't mention this. I take oral magnesium every day (keeps me regular) and I do the exercises that she showed, on the chair. I had to stay off my foot for six weeks, so exercise is important for blood flow (tendons and ligaments are notorious for having poor blood flow, why they take a long time to heal). Also, exercise is important to keep muscles strong.
Thank you for sharing your experience and helpful tips! Elevating the feet, using a wedge-shaped cushion, and maintaining regular exercise are indeed valuable practices for improving circulation, reducing swelling, and supporting overall healing, especially after surgeries or injuries. It's great that you found these methods effective in your recovery process. Your insights can be beneficial for others going through similar situations. Keep up the good work, and best wishes for your continued recovery! 💪🩺🌟
Glad I found this video today. I suffer from severe pain in legs, and poor circulation in my lower legs. Also, a recent knee injury resulted in a minicus tear. 😢 For all these reasons, I have become relatively sedentary. These exercises should help strengthen my leg muscles and also serve as good general exercises. Don't know what else I cud do to ensure i dont gain weight, and remain active.
I'm glad you found the video helpful! These exercises can definitely help with strengthening your leg muscles and improving circulation. In terms of preventing weight gain and remaining active, incorporating regular physical activity into your routine (even low impact activities like walking or yoga) and following a balanced diet can also be helpful.

Well done video. Lots of good solutions related to circulation. Limph is a big issue and when it doesn't move it becomes problematic for swelling. The heart pumps blood and the movement of the body and calf muscles pump the limph fluid. Movement is the key.

Thank you, Dr. Melissa for your informative video. I'm a recent Covid widower. I walk regularly and jog several miles per week, but sometimes my legs feel heavy and cramp up at night as I sleep. In the last 10 years all my brothers and sisters have gotten blood clots in their legs, except me, and I would like to avoid this from happening. I will definitely take your advice to heart for better blood circulation in my legs. Thanks.
😅thankyou😂❤❤
I have had cramping problems for quite a few years and it's getting worse. So I was tested at the hospital several weeks ago and it's not blood clots. You just have to observe what is causing the cramping. I believe my main problem is just overuse.
Stop the running and see how that helps. Keep the walking.

And what else do you recommend please like supplements and so on.appreciate it.

Took notes, having issues with spotting no swelling on ankles which feels prickly from 7 years of standing at fulltime job. I used compression socks but still happened to much standing. Not there anymore. Not working just resting for now. Dont want to work and injure myself anymore. Need different approach. I have cosmetology and office. So disappointing to not do what I want.

How many reps and how many sets should one do when doing the exercises you recommend? Should they be done daily or more than once a day? Thanks for the video.
Thank you for your question. The number of reps and sets for the exercises recommended will depend on your current fitness level and goals. It's important to start slowly and gradually increase the number of reps and sets as you become more comfortable with the exercises. As for frequency, it's generally recommended to perform strength training exercises 2-3 times per week with at least one day of rest between sessions to allow for recovery. However, it's important to listen to your body and adjust the frequency and intensity of your workouts as needed.
@@NaturalHealthResources Thanks very much for your response. I'm in good overall shape and stay active. I'm learning to listen to my body, especially after my TKR surgery. 😃 2-3 times a week is about how often I do my strength exercises, for 2-3 sets and 10-12 reps per set. Thanks again. I did subscribe to your channel today.

You're welcome! I'm glad you found the exercise video beneficial for managing edema. Remember that it's always important to consult with a healthcare professional before starting any new exercise routine, especially if you have underlying health conditions. If you have any questions or need further guidance, feel free to ask. Take care!
What you should include is the fact that if you are on blood thinners and take the Herbs you suggest, it could be very dangerous
If you're already on blood thinners then you're on your death bed anyway.
I can't even take but one naproxen or ibuprofen in a 48hr. time frame, and I'm not even on blood thinners.
Thins out your blood and less coagulation is happening without peoples knowledge. Be careful with oils and herbs.👍🏽🤓
Thanks for that info. I'll stick with the exercises. Work out in pool and do variations of those exercises and notice considerable relief
So get off the drugs. Get off the blood thinners. Nutrition is better and safer than drugs.
Very informative video, Mam you have explained it very nicely. I had not heard many of these things before. Congratulations

Would you comment on the relationship between lymphatic flow and blood flow to the bowels , hemorrhoids and elimination of waste?
Good question
Certainly! The lymphatic system and blood flow are essential for bowel health, preventing hemorrhoids, and waste elimination. Proper circulation and hydration, along with a balanced diet, can help maintain these systems, reducing the risk of issues like hemorrhoids and constipation.
Dr Gallagher, thank you so much for what you do to help us. So many compression socks are difficult to put on. Is there one you might recommend? Thanks again.
Thank you for your kind words! I understand that some compression socks can be challenging to put on. I recommend looking for compression socks with a higher nylon or spandex content as they tend to be more stretchable and easier to put on. Additionally, socks with a wider opening or built-in assistance features, such as zippers or clasps, can also make the process easier. Remember to choose a compression level that is appropriate for your needs. If you need further assistance, feel free to reach out. Take care!

What can you substitute for leg pump? In case of its unavailability what could give similar benefit? Is massaging of leg an option?
Also, dead Sea salt not available, what's an alternative? Thank you so much!
If a leg pump is unavailable, there are some alternative methods that can provide similar benefits for improving circulation in the legs:
1. **Leg Exercises:** Simple leg exercises such as ankle pumps, leg lifts, and knee extensions can help stimulate blood flow.
2. **Walking:** Regular walking, especially with good posture and proper footwear, can promote circulation in the legs.
3. **Elevating Legs:** Elevating your legs above heart level for short periods can assist with blood return to the heart.
4. **Compression Stockings:** If suitable for your condition, compression stockings can help improve blood circulation in the legs.
As for an alternative to Dead Sea salt, you can consider using Epsom salt (magnesium sulfate) in your bath. Epsom salt baths are known for their potential benefits for muscle relaxation and circulation.
Such a beautiful video and so informative ... I loved ❤it!...😊
Thank you so much 😀
Be careful (8) ginkgo biloba and #(9) horse chestnut should not be taken if already on a blood thinner.
You must let people know this im on eliquis no ginko no horse

Hi Doc, my mom (84 yrs) has recently had a 2nd stroke and after a week her left leg has swollen quite a bit all the way up to her thighs. We’ve been told this is water retention due to lack of movement and it’s normal after a stroke. Please advise what’s the best way to treat this.
When my leg did that, it turned out to be a long blood clot. I wonder why her other leg didn't swell?
You should be talking with your mother doctor….
@@dstarkspp already have and that’s the doctors advice I’ve mentioned in my comment above.
Keep her feet elevated during the day and when she goes to sleep at night put two pillows under her feet and see if the swelling goes down in the morning. I hope your Mom feels better
Sarah I would start by getting another doctor. Too many health care people assume things. While it may be common they should at least look at it carefully. Did they do an ultrasound at the very least?
Great program. Good use of affordable aids. Thanks. Will look for your next program

Great information, Dr. Melissa. There isn't a lot of lymphatic information in this realm. I had all the lymph nodes in my right leg removed due to melanoma. Would it help at all for me to do the exercises? Thanks for any input.
I'm glad you found the information helpful! Lymphatic health is often overlooked, but it plays an important role in our overall wellness.
Regarding your question about lymphatic exercises, it's important to talk to your healthcare provider before starting any new exercise routine, especially if you've had lymph nodes removed. Your healthcare provider can evaluate your individual situation and provide guidance on what exercises would be safe and appropriate for you.
You can also enroll in my LYMPHATIC masterclass PROMOTE YOUR LYMPHATIC FLOW FOR OPTIMAL WELLNESS- www.letyourlymphflow.com/

Thank you Dr it was great news for us God bless you

In these exercises most of the we take help from gravitational forces / pull. Gravitational pull tends to oppose the blood and lymphatic flow when we are upright sitting or standing. Then only movement of lower limbs or rythmic contraction and relaxation of the lower limb muscles help in maintaining the blood lymph flow to normal.
You're absolutely right, @mahmoodmirza3301! Gravity can indeed affect blood and lymphatic flow, especially when we're upright. That's why exercises that involve rhythmic movements and muscle contractions in the lower limbs can be so beneficial for maintaining proper circulation. Thanks for sharing your insights! 👍🏼💬
Very Informative, Thanks for Sharing 🙏

Do these principles apply to the upper body as well? And won't the compression socks cut off the circulation ?
I also think ,compresion socks Stop the bloodflow..
@@julegeorge5770 I wear compression stockings all the time ,they do not stop blood flow. They make your legs feel good.
@@julegeorge5770 If your compression socks stop blood flow, I'd think it'd be because they are too small/too tight. After my total knee replacement surgery, I had to wear the thigh high compression hose on both legs for a few weeks and then on the surgical leg for a few more. My physical therapist recommended them when I take any long trips or fly.
The principles of compression garments can also apply to the upper body, and there are compression garments designed specifically for upper body use. These garments are often used for conditions like lymphedema or post-surgical recovery.
Regarding concerns about compression socks cutting off circulation, it's crucial to select the right compression level and size. When properly fitted, compression socks should not cut off circulation but rather promote better blood flow and reduce swelling.

I think leg exercises are the best upon these remaining 9 tips 😊😊😄😊😄
Glad you like them!
I have some questions 😊
For the vitamins, do we just follow dosages on the bottles? And for hiw long do we take them straight? 3 months , take months off? What's the regimen? And for the compression socks , I'm a size 13 do I get the Large or X large? And how often do I wear them? Day time? Night time? How many hours? Sorry for the questions......😊
I subscribed
Yes follow bottle intructions.
Depends how fat you are.
On 12 off 12
No need to apologize for the questions! I'm here to help. For vitamins, it's generally a good idea to follow the dosages on the bottles. However, if you're considering higher doses or long-term use, it's best to consult a healthcare professional. As for duration, it varies. Some vitamins can be taken continuously, while others might be cycled. It's advisable to periodically review your supplement regimen with a healthcare provider.
When it comes to compression socks, the sizing usually corresponds to your shoe size. For size 13, you might want to go with X-Large to ensure a comfortable fit. Compression socks are typically worn during the day, especially when you're more active. The exact hours can vary, but starting with wearing them during the day and gradually increasing the duration is a good approach. And thank you for subscribing! Feel free to ask more questions if needed. 😊

What can you recommend for tingling in toes? I had a sciatica nerve attack and think their has been a slight nerve damage as a result of it.
Certainly! For tingling in toes due to suspected nerve damage from sciatica:
1. Consult a healthcare provider for evaluation.
2. Consider physical therapy and ergonomic adjustments.
3. Medications, rest, and stress reduction may help.
4. Maintain a balanced diet for nerve health.

Recently twice I had an episode of breathlessness after exertion (several flights stairs and hike up steep hill) and felt this rushing feeling up my legs. Almost like I could feel the muscles trying to pump the blood up. It was very anxiety producing. I squatter my back against a fallen tree, arms bent spread wide opening my chest with elbows on tree. I took deep breaths. After a few minutes these symptoms went away. I'm afraid to go up that hill now. The other time happened in my kitchen and I sat down in the bathroom for a while. I'm taking nitrous oxide now.

Thank you so much for this video. I would like to know how long do we do the ankle and leg exercises for please? Thank you in advance!
Glad you found the video helpful! It's recommended to do ankle and leg exercises for at least 10-15 minutes per day, but you can gradually increase the time as you become more comfortable with the exercises. Remember to listen to your body and not push yourself too hard.
I’m gonna try this because I have cold feet all the time, emphadema circulation problems and Ian anemia, but on blood thinners and can’t take iron supplements. I don’t eat much red or meat period. Also I wear compression socks but my right foot n ankle still swell. I do see a vascular doctor currently and being tested by ultrasound to make sure I don’t have blood clots due to having pain in my right knee and right side. I will try the exercises you posted as well. Thank you!😊

I got diagnosed with pre tibial myxodema and also developed some diagnosed lymphodema. I was provided with suitable compression stockings for my lower legs and feet by my doctor. I have had this treatment for some years now. I have more recently got some spider veins and maybe the beginning of some varicose veins. I have been doing some foot and ankle exercises and will try some of the others. Thanks for your video.
You're very welcome! I'm glad to hear that you found the video helpful, and it's great that you're taking proactive steps to manage your condition. Foot and ankle exercises, along with compression stockings, can be valuable tools in addressing issues like spider veins and varicose veins. Remember to continue working closely with your doctor to monitor your progress and explore any additional treatments or lifestyle adjustments that may benefit you. Your proactive approach to your health is commendable! 😊👍

My left leg often now feels cold. Not my right leg. Several weeks ago I discovered my left lower leg near ankle was wet! Turns out it was "leaking legs". Doctor sent me for various tests. No blocks. But beginning of varicose veins. Spider veins too. Not pleased with Dr's advice to keep doing what I do! I'm nearly 78 yes old. I wondered what have I stopped in my diet? Regular herbal drinks of nettle and oat straw . The other I stopped was dry brushing. Thank you for the information on your video.
I'm glad to hear that my video was helpful to you. It's interesting to hear that certain lifestyle habits, such as dry brushing and herbal drinks, may have an impact on your leg circulation.Best of luck to you!
How are you doing now? I had leaking legs this time last year. My legs would just drip water, making my pants below the knees wet.
I've lost 50 lbs by cutting out the white sugar and white bread from my diet. Similar to keto, but not as strict.
My legs got much better within 2 weeks!! I hope you've found a relief for yours by now.
@@nataliek6555 I am doing quite well thank you. No leaking legs although I often feel cold on my left leg but that's bearable. I avoid sugar except for baking I use rapadura sugar it has molasis otherwise I use raw local honey. I avoid white bread. I drink a few herbs especially for a very few varicose veins detected with the leaking leg. I take Gotu Kola so far it's doing wonders. Keep on going and being happy 🙋♀️💖🌷. Keep safe 🙏
