You two know so much.Stop asking for doctor Dx and recommended treatment.
My legs swelled all of a sudden. I asked several doctors about it but just got a look of disgust from them. Then I found your video and started sitting with my legs up and walking a bit more. It worked! My legs and feet are almost normal sizes now after 3+ yrs. Thank you so much.
Great to hear that!
Use Celtic salt or himalaya salt cures edema. Fact
Yay!
3 years of suffering. sorry
My 82 year old partner has this and he makes it a point to walk around the inside of our house, we have a large house, 3 times a day, 10 times around the house. He does his first round after breakfast, than again after lunch and again after dinner. It's been working for him.
You lose what ya don't use...😮
@@cliftonbowers6376 I can testify to that for sure!
I went to the doctor about this problem yesterday and she didn't mention any of this. I left with a diuretic script but would have loved this info instead. Thanks guys! 😊
Great information for people whom have multiple sclerosis....
Seriously these ppl are more helpful than some doctors, specialist and physiotherapist.
Thank you guys.
Thanks! We are happy we can help
You guys show a lot of restraint not pushing your products in each of your videos. I really respect that.
Nobody took me complaining about dry skin on my legs seriously. Thank you so much for mentioning it here. I always thought it was unrelated. I've been using coconut oil as a moisturizer after I bathe and it has helped keep the skin from breaking.
I use Shea butter with olive oil and mineral oil. That helps a lot.
Thank you so much both of you for the video
I was told that the valves in my vein wasn't working right. They wanted to go down my vein with a needle and with sound waves killed the vein I didn't want to do that. What do you think about the valve not working in the vein?
Good news! I changed chairs last night and today. Sat in a recliner with feet up last night and this morning. I’m stunned. My left foot is no longer swollen! Didn’t expect such quick results. Such a simple tip, but I did not know it until your video. I was afraid it was something very wrong with my body. Thanks again.
Thank you SO much for suggesting the tubigrips! Life changing! They are so much easier for older folks vs compression hose. They have changed my moms life bc she can put them on and off herself. No more foot or leg ulcers!
Great to hear!
3 Scenarios You Might Be Dealing With:
Atherosclerosis
Pain as day goes on
Lymphedema
Possible Treatments:
Foam Rolling
Elevation of legs every time you sit/rest
Ankle pumps (10-20 reps every 1/2 hr as needed)
Compression socks/garments
Very helpful explanations, thanks guys!
Happy to help!
My husband got lymphedema after being diagnosed with lymphoma. He has been seeing a massage PT clinic for some new ideas to treat, wearing compression hose and trying oh so hard to keep things under control. Please be careful if you have this and .and keep an eye on your skin. He developed sepsis in his leg, right before the lockdowns in 2/2020. Three weeks in the hospital, very very sick. Don't neglect your legs and feet!
Compression socks completely solved my problems. Been wearing them for over a year, only take them off at night. Works like a charm.
😂oma 94 has same 😅😊rip
Sending love and wishes to Bob. Speedy recovery!
Thank you!
Give our regards to Bob and tell him we're thinking about him. Thanks for the timely video. I'm going to the vascular surgeon next week to check out my varicose veins. I was diagnosed with reflux (I think that's what they called it).
Good Luck , Cinnie. I had this procedure done for varicose veins and my legs have felt so much better!
@@Susann1984 Thank you for the encouragement! I'm glad it worked well for you. :)
Will do!
@@BobandBrad wow my father has arterial sclerosis with a 100% blockage in both legs.(they’re think possible amputation) Iam going to bye him a foam roller to start rolling. Any other advice you can share with me would be appreciated.
@@CarlosSantana-we6ts😅
Smile Mike! You are such a great presenter, and addition to this work!
Thanks!
I had an injury to my groin area when I was 16, just from sitting up from a lying postion on a doctor's table, I remember feeling the pop...it caused a major DVT and I had to be put on blood thinners for months. I was even hospilized for almost 3 weeks. My leg is now permanently swollen and discolored. It makes me feel a little self-conscious and bummed cause I have one nice, beautiful leg and one swollen and discolored leg. I need a vein valve repair....praying someday it can happen. 😢 I stay active and have lost almost 100 pounds in the last few years just to help ease symptoms. It does help. I can't wear the compressions socks, they actually hurt my leg where the sock ends at the top of the leg and makes it feel like it's stopping blood from flowing freely.
Timing is everything. Just started having this problem in the last couple of days so - got the tests....and its clearly time to do something about it. Your information is VERY timely for me. Thoughts to Bob. This must be very challenging for him. Like the new guy.
I've really only started watching you all consistently when Mike came on and honestly I love your videos. I'm a little younger than the age demographic, but I love the dynamic and, most importantly, the information and stretch/exercise tips
Great to hear, thank you for watching!
@AD35Supa seriously..? 🙄
@@BobandBrad1:18
Thank you so much for this video. I have lymphedema and purchased the wedge back in February; it is SO helpful and comfortable. Also, I was recently diagnosed with piriformis syndrome, and I find that sleeping on my back and using the wedge also relieves the pain associated with that condition.
Thank you!
It is amazing how much foam rollers hurt if you need them. Once the problem is gone, there is no more pain. It is amazing.
Great!
I'm a blue collar worker been on my feet 99% of my working life. Lifting climbing shoveling etc etc etc. My doctor told me I needed to start an exercise program. I looked at her wide-eyed and said did you not just hear what I do for a living? I said when I'm done with the day's work I want to go home and relax I don't want to go to a gym or go out for a walk that's the last thing on my mind.
Doctors don't look at patients as individuals anymore - now we are simply statistics.
Thanks for covering this topic, but wish you also included venous insufficiency and any exercises that would work for that issue. Keep up the great videos!
Yes! I have varicose veins, and even though I wear compression stockings and have a job where I walk about 30-80% of my day, my ankles/legs are usually somewhat swollen by about halfway through the day. Also, the shin of the leg with the worse varicose veins has an incredibly itchy rash that doesn't go away even with steroid ointments. I don't want to keep using steroids that don't really work for long, so I use a lanolin-based moisurizer instead. That definitely helps, but the skin has gotten thicker and more leathery and started developing tiny sores. I do NOT want this to get any worse. I'm thinking about having the varicose veins themselves treated, but the foam roller looks interesting, too.
Also, I have tingling in my foot on that same leg sometimes, and sciatia under that buttock. Usually after I've been sitting. I have mild tailbone pain that used to be worse until I bought a special foam chair pad, which helped, but I have to wonder if the foam pad contributed to sciatic nerve damage. So, since sciatica is suppose to be a back issue, I am wondering how well lying down with my legs up might help my back/sciatic nerve, too.
super helpful. My mom has lymdema and her legs can be very painful. Will pass on the video to her. I get the swelling at the end of the day. Will walk more throughout the day. Thanks!
Okay....this video is for me! Thank you again for helping those of us who have these problems.
You are very welcome!
Doctors these days do not give you an exercise program nor do they tell you to lose weight or quit smoking. I asked a doctor at the beginning of the year why. He said because they don't want to hurt anyone's feeling. I think they just want to push meds and may get a kick back from the pharmaceutical companies for writing prescriptions.
I was heavier than I thought during a doc visit. I was floored at the weight. Dr laughs and asks me what I'm going to do. People are thin skinned. Dr doesn't need the stress of someone going ballistic. If people don't see the flab , too bad. Many people will never exercise either
Being a nurse in geriatrics we always gave patients the tools to lose weight, exercise and eat healthier. You can bring a horse to water but you can’t make them drink it.
You need a different doctor. I've been chewed out by my radiation oncologist multiple times with my wife piling on. :)
One other thing, customer satisfaction is major, no complaints is top shelf
Maybe they realized that badgering people about weight loss has never been effective and often leads to overlooking underlying health issues.
You know what I do? In the evenings I have to lay on my back. Because I have to do that I move my legs around in the air, especially, stretching calf muscles etc. if there's some jazzy music on I put both my legs up in the air and I shake my ankles just as vigorously as I can and for as long as I can.
Strange as it may seem, all these "mermaid" like movements, especially the ankle shaking, really help.
Mine was related to trauma after a rooster aggressively introduced himself to the back of my leg with his talons and claws. It took almost 3 years to heal completely and get blood flow back to the area. My muscles seized up and I had to work through the emotional trauma of that event. Once I cleared it, I was put into a survival situation while kayaking, which led me to using those muscles to save myself. Instantly, the flow was back and improves every day.
I didn't go see a doctor because it wasn't necessary. I knew what was happening without any physical symptoms.
Well done!
Glad to hear you figured it out! That must've been scary!
Glad that things are going better for you.
I have slow wound healing due to Ehlers Danlos syndrome, so I can relate a bit.
I would have killed that rooster to prevent that from happening to anyone else! Glad to hear you are recovering.
What a scary situation. I'm glad you worked through it. Wishing you continued healing.
Thank you so much for this information. Sending all the best to y’all and good vibes to Bob as well.
Happy we could help :)
Thanks Brad and Mike! I wanted to make sure I was doing the right thing for my condition, and I am on the right track, so thanks. Hello to Bob behind the camera!!
Anytime!
Compression calf sleeves have worked the best for me, and are much easier for me to put on and fit into. The calf sleeves marathon runners wear are what I get, and they come in lots of fun colors.
I'm 67 and starting to get 'cankles'. (UK nurses word for swollen ankles). I use open-toe compression stockings every other night. For quick fluid reduction, I lay on my back with my butt against the wall, legs vertical, and do the ankle-pumping for a minute on, 5 minutes off, for a half hour. My current medication is 'furosemide' 40mg daily. Seems to work! 🙂
I also take lasix,80 mg daily .dont forget to add potassium to your lasix ,im on 10 mg daily. My Dr recently added spironolactone. He said it does the same as lasix but doesnt deplete the potassium in my body..so im overlapping at the moment. Still have swollen feet and legs. Its awful.
Thanks guys for a timely and well-presented session. Just what I need. :-).
Ko😊
You are very welcome!
Thanks for the video. It was very helpful and I'm grateful you put it together, thanks!
Great to hear!
Hi Mike and Brad! Hi Bob in the background!!! Thanks for sharing this with us. I'll definitely try to incorporate what I can when I stretch! I use compression socks because I'm not as Physically active anymore so I'm using it to prevent any issues.
Happy to help, thank you for watching!
These are great ideas! My hubby ended up getting stints in his veins bcz his legs swell. He's gotten 3 so far. He'll get 1 more next week. 2 per leg. They're painful to get. These exercises are easier than getting stints! FYI
Glad to hear it!
@sunflower153 Forgive me, English is my second language - I looked up stints but found nothing that could be related to the subject. Did you mean stents? Thank you.
Yes, stents. Typo 😊
@@sunflower6153 Thank you for clarifying :)
Thank you so much for your very informative information. I started suffering with leg swelling after my neck surgery. I will be trying the things you suggested. Thank you
Happy to help
I agree that the wedge pillow is great for back pain too! Love mine.
Thanks to you both. As always, great and thorough information.
Thanks!!
Loved the info but, maybe for the younger crowd(not me BTW), a little education in the direction with how NOT to get circulation problems when you're younger. What did we do wrong over the years to get in this condition and how to avoid would be nice.
6:22 I've got venous insufficiency. It can be hereditary, being sedentary or overweight can bring it on or make it worse if you inherited it. Thanks, mom
Lok
Your info on lymphedema is not complete but, as you say, it is important to speak to a doctor. However, I am thrilled that you are bringing attention to this condition.❤
Thanks, happy to help as much as we can!
Something I have done that is very helpful is to sit in the car and do leg presses against the floor. Pick up your toes when you breathe in, press down hard as you breathe out, then repeat. The car is the only place I know sturdy enough to do this.
alternating the flex/extension pumping
(extend one ankle while flexing the other)
makes it less disruptive to what youre
doing seated... both at once makes bouncing
Thanks!
Suggestions for those who believe. Just go to keep the calfs warm always during sleeping. Buy a electric warming pad with a temperature control. Set the temperature control between 38C and 42C. Put it underneath your calfs as sleeping.
I love all your videos, thank you so much!
You are very welcome!
But what if you had a venous disease and as result the large venous blood vessel from the ankle and up to the groin was removed? What are the best excercises?
Thank you! I'm so happy you put this together for our library, if needed in the future. ❤
Happy it was useful!
THANK YOU!
Your video has helped me immensely!
Thanks Bob, Brad and Mike. I DOOO suffer from poor venous return on one leg and I Did have a DVT in 2016 once due to low Protein C so I Loved this video!
Thank you for your support, take care!
I had edema in my legs and feet from some medication (carafate) I was taking for a GI bleed. I had to wear compression socks to control the swelling. It took about 2 weeks to return to normal.
Thank you for sharing
Love the 2 man team! Thank you for helpful information and positive vibrations.
In mid-sixties, I simply bought a nice indoor exercise bike and I use it every day for at least 20 minutes - some days I can only handle being on it for ten minutes - but on those days i do three 10 minute sessions.
Venous stasis and CHF are the big two conditions I see all the time with swelling in legs and feet. CHF is by far the most prevalent I see with elderly population.
What's CHF?
@@helenapetrovich9334 congestive heart failure
Thanks guys, this is very timely. Mine is due to Long Covid issues and vein issues.
For this excellent public service God Almighty
Bless u and your beloved ones with health happiness wisdom compassion tranquility prosperity and love Ameen
Thank you
QUESTION: Is it common for the swelling to affect just one leg/ankle or both?
Yes. Usually it's more on the other leg.
Great Video guys!! ...I was told that Leg circulation problems can be from overweight issues or Having Diabetes..
Those two things can lead to some issues, yes, but there are other things that can cause it as well.
Definitely need this. My problem seems from being overweight and kidney disease.
Sorry to hear that.
Thank you, I'll speak with my doctor (arteriosclerosis I already know nope; varicose veins a bit but at my age that's normal; lymphedema sounds like it) but for now I've traded my sitting footrest for a higher one. I already wiggle my legs a lot when seated (always have done that if I'm by myself) and the bathroom is on the other end of the house...
Good vid guys! You didn't mention venous insufficiency, which may take surgery to correct.
Thank you!
You can purchase a stocking donner, which makes putting stockings on so much easier.
Your videos are so good, thank you guys! I have very sore lower legs and ankles. My ankle feel hot and look red and bruised all the time. I used to go for long walks but only short distances now. Do you have any ideas on how to treat this problem? 🙏🏻💐
Hot and red? I'd see a dr or urgent care asap. Hot red skin is often a sign of infection. (Such as cellulitis which needs immediate treatment). Please be careful and see a dr.
Another awesome vid for me anyways, I love when you guys touch on the Lymphatic System and all I can find on the internet is little about that system and the bit I do find they don't agree with where the lymph is returned to the system, some say back in the blood system and others says through the kidneys I agree with the Kidney idea because the kidneys are a true filter system. I get a lot of help from you guys for sure Thx again.
Anytime, we are happy to help!
Just diagnosed with Venus Insufficiency and told to get compression socks - but that’s all I was told. Doctors certainly don’t give enough info - going to see someone at a foot clinic, hopefully will get more info. Thanks for video!
Thanks Brad and Mike, I have Lymphedema and you guys are awesome with your way of making these exercises and advice so easy to understand. Thanks Cheers 👍👍
Thank you.
Thank you so very much..
Your guidance is spot on - it is very impt to catch & work with early on..
Later on it may be contributing to other serious diseases...u may reach a point of dragging the legs ,then falls ...muscles tighten in legs & back..& it affects lungs & breathing..get tons of blood work..this could be simple if early or later lead to blockages..gastro..& other things
So v important to see primary care..a vein specialist Avoid surgery etc.. these exercises are important ...ty
I use my tenns unit to handle it when it gets bad ,just a couple cycles and swelling goes away ✌️
What is that may I ask? I would love to try something else.
@dianebash9402 it's a omron electro massage therapy, look up examples on TH-cam, but I put the electro pads on my calf and it goes for 15min per cycle, by the end of 2nd cycle I can already see n feel results but about another half hr or so swelling is gone for most part ,I also sleep with my feet higher than my heart , Goodluck ✌️
What about for someone who is over weight ? What should they do? As for as for exercise.
Thank you thank you thank you for the video. As a truck driver I deal with swelling in my legs daily. My doctor put me on a water pill but then that gives me a magnesium deficiency issue. So I started wearing socks 6 months ago and my legs feel better but it's nice seeing the video on how to roll my legs to increase the circulation. And it's nice to know walking will help
L
magnesium chloride, sodium chloride and potassium chloride are the major electrolytes and need to be balanced. idiot doctors.
Generally, walking is the easiest exercise with lots of benefits🚶🏃♀️🏃
i have all 3 of those plus i had ankle surgery 2x in 7 months....im still in therapy for this 2nd surgery and that was 3 months ago...
Well I can't use the foam rollers because I can't lift up like that but I've noticed that if I take one foot and rub it up and down behind the other leg it feels really good and I do that a little bit before I get out of bed. I bet this is why. My foot is my foam roller. No clue how long I would have to do it though. It's moving both legs so it has to be a good thing! 💕🎉🎉🎉
I learn so much from these guys! I'm so grateful to have found them several years ago. Thanks to all three of you.
Just wanted to say that his comments at the end of the video about taking care of your dry skin is extremely important! I have severe lymphedema and now I have severe infections in both legs. It is hell to try to treat an endure both because it hurts so much I can't do the exercise I so badly need to do! And this is very important..... once your legs start looking better, don't stop! You have to keep going for perhaps months trust me I know what I'm talking about
Thanks to you both. As always, great and thorough information.. Thanks to you both. As always, great and thorough information..
Thanks Bob & Brad, great insights! Poor health is costly, health is wealth.
Thank you.
Miss Bob!
Had doubts about replacement Mike but he has made a seem less transition
Lol one concern was voice, so different than “laid back Bob” , but is very pleasant
GOD be with our Bob in his journey thank you all
As always, thanks for the video. Useful information. Will put it to good use! Thank you both…or I should say all three of you. Hello, Bob. 👍
Very helpful.Thank you both.Iam having this problem with my feet.
BPH means I have to use the 2nd fl bathroom more than a dozen times per day....every cloud has a silver lining; no swollen feet!
I'm so sorry you have so many critics, sound, voice, camera 😂 aargh! You do a GREAT SERVICE, and I love your new host (but of course miss the other gentleman!). Thk you for all your great tips!!
I have none of these issues but my hands and feet are cold all winter long. Come summer no issues. Unless I’m highly active my feet and hands are always cold. Nothing more awesome than meeting someone shaking their hand with your cold ass hands and theirs are toasty warm...
Mike's voice sets my teeth on edge, because his voice comes across much louder and more shrill than Brad's. You need a sound leveler when you're editing these videos to make both voices the same volume.
"Ideally you want your legs above your heart". Holy leg raises batman! kapow
Hi Bob Brad and Mike
How about legs circulations while on airplane ? Thanks.
Mike...please don't speak so loudly into the mic it is like a sudden trumpet blairing...maybe put the mic down at your neck...so that you can match thetone of your partner better and the voice is not so distracting.
It's the mic volume. It needs to be modified as Mike has a voice that carries and is higher in tone, which makes it sound sharp.
I came here to see if anyone else thought Mike's mic needs to be turned down. I Agree 100%
Thank you for the feedback
Lol! I thought, what the heck are they talking about... why are they being so knit-picky? Then I heard it! 😂 I wonder if I would've noticed the level of his voice if I hadn't read this post first, but it was too late. You can't unring a bell or, in this case, a trumpet. It was kind of funny, the one guy's voice was calm and soothing, and then her come the other guy yelling. Thanks for the chuckle. 😊
Thank you Bob and Brad for this information,I do have a problem with poor circulation, When I walk for a few hours on my legs, they will have intensity too swell up in both legs and after a while they start hurting,so what you are saying is basically keep my legs elevated when sitting or laying down right?Now about the stockings would you recommend them for what I explained to you? Ok! Thank you both.Please tell Bob, I'm sending prayers to him for good health.🙏✝️
I was in an accident with a big truck. Vertebrae crushed the nerves to one leg, so now the valves that control the blood flow close very very slowly. So I get pitting edema in that leg. It got wayyy better when I lost weight but the last 3 months it has come back😢
Please bring Bob back ✌️🙏😻
I had foot surgery for flat feet. Because my ex refused to pay for me to go to physical therapy, I do not have much flexibility in my ankles. This causes me to have very swollen feet, ankles and lower legs. I would like to see things I can do without having to get on the floor since I have knee and hip problems that keep me from being able to get off the floor.
I've been wearing compression socks for a few years now. I started wearing them on my own. I have an issue behind my left knee, at the top of the calf that has never been diagnosed. Some kind of compression keeps that at bay. Meanwhile, my legs have started to swell on a regular basis. I have spoken with my primary physician as well as my neurologist about how dry my skin gets underneath the compression sock. Neither one of them mentioned anything about staying on top of the dry skin as it could lead to something as you mentioned.
I've read and tried this: after a shower/bath rub Vaseline onto your legs well. It thoroughly moisturizes your skin. You'll see a noticeable difference.
@@Susann1984gosh that’s an old method but a good one! It’s easier for strength-impaired people to use lotion rather than Vaseline though because of absorption time & energy effort 😕
Try Heane free castor oil for your ankles. If you may have HBP check your meds it could be a long term symptom.
I asked my Podiatrist to recommend a good foot cream. He said the best thing is equal parts petroleum jelly (Vaseline) and diabetic foot cream. That has pain killers in it. Or any foot cream. I had one, mixed it up and it's amazing. It soaks in better than Vaseline alone does. Cheap to try.
@@renel7303 sounds like a great option 👍🏼
Would an inversion table be a good thing for this?
Inversion tables are mainly for decompressing, however some people will use them to improve circulation since it drains the blood from the legs when hanging, however we would have to urge you to speak to your physician first before using it.
@@BobandBrad awesome, thanks for the info 👍
I have heard that getting on a rebounder is great for lymphatic system.
Thanks for watching!
Any advice for unclogging arteries?
Where were you guys??? I feel I have been looking for you folks all my life!!
Wear compression socks. Also move your toes often, just move them while sitting down.
I have restless leg syndrome and reduced my electric massagers with rolling massagers also hand kneading massaging just a few of many .
Sehr gut erklärt , danke...👍👍👍
Thanks!
Thanks 4 sharing the exercise for blood circulation of the leg
7 miles a day until i can't walk again, i was a nut. But im getting back on my feet, no pun intended. You guys are are a huge help
We are eager to see Sri Bob in the video. I am also wishing him all the best to appear in the Bob and Brad health video asap.
