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 UA-cam. I hope this can help anyone who may need it🙏 You CAN become healthier at ANY age & enjoy doing it✊❤️🩹
Thank God!! i read your post. I've been ill for quite sometime experiencing the same exact symptoms or worse & I also fear becoming a diabetic as well! knowing I would be the only 1 to blame. This has been an eye opener. I wish you the very best as you courageously continue your journey to GREAT health..Thank you, as I am so encouraged by you. 🙏 ❤️
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
You are 100% right about everything. I’ve been rebounding for some time and it has HUGE effects. Not only a dramatic health improvement, but reduces cellulite, weight loss, and lymphatic drainage. Don’t forget vegetables, lemon water and cucumbers 😍☺️

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.
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)
This has definitely pushed me to make an appointment with a podiatrist. I’m in the UK, but with a long term underlying health issue it’s certainly affecting my feet and ankles.

This very informative 👍Thank your for your detailed video. Lately I’m been suffering with swollen feet and ankles. I’m overweight with high blood pressure and need to make some major changes in my health. I want to be around to see my grandkids graduate high school or college 😁
I found a method that is very effective for me. I wore thick leg warmers that cover my legs' calf from the knee to the ankle when I sleep at night. After a few days, my swollen feet & swollen ankles, swollen ankles were not swollen anymore. This may not work for everyone but it definitely worked very well for me.
Lol I think you might have just invented a cost effective pair of compression socks. But I guess Compression socks have a content of mercury in them. I’d look into yours though.

My diet containing Turmeric, Ginger, Garlic, Hot Peppers, and Black Pepper....have, and still helping me keep swelling down....also helps with keeping my blood thinned down, as I have had Genetic Blood clotting disorder. Been doing this for 3 years now, with no problem. I am 59 years old.
Turmeric Ginger and Garlic I know, but never knew about these peppers 😳. Thanks, We really learn everyday. Have you tried taking some Magnesium too? Almonds, Broccoli, Dark Chocolate? They work great for swelling too.
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. ❤
It’s funny to see a foot specialist share the commoners’ pain. But, oh boy I can testify the effectiveness of recommended remedies! Thanks a bunch for sharing, doctor😊

I been dealing with both my feet and legs swelling for over 20 years. I had test done, they always come back ok. I would like to know why. I am unable to wear sandals and other types of shoes. It's a mystery to me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.❤️🙏
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 UA-cam too. Hope this helps.
@@MovieRecapsDark There is another cause that many people do not consider. I also have swelling In my lower legs, ankles and feet. I have had every test imaginable to isolate the problem without a diagnosis. One thing I know that can cause it is Rheumatoid arthritis in the knee joints. I have Rheumatoid. Since I have started wearing knee supports yesterday the swelling in my lower legs has improved and that is in only one day.

My husband has been dealing with this for years...and we discovered if he eats or drinks anything with high fructose corn syrup in it..he swells up. Otherwise he has no swelling at all.
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.
I have deformed feet too Due to severe bunions One foot the toes are all being pushed to the side I can wear nothing but Birkenstocks and even they are getting harder to get a style that works Deformed feet are a saddddd sad thing
Graves Disease (thyroid disease) causes skin issues called myxedema swelling in the calves and feet. Dealing with that currently - slow yoga stretches really help and walking for those who are disabled.
I am 87 years old. I live the UK. I do lots of Stocks and Shares, buying and selling shares and watching Shares going up and down, sitting from 8am to 5pm UK time with the result. Edema developed in my legs. both my feet are swollen. I followed someone's suggestion I put four pillows at the end of my bed, and I rest my feet on them for the rest of my sleep it seems to work a little, but I have to see my GP for his diagnosis. Regards.
What if swelling occurs during the day, but when you go to bed and wake up in the morning the ankles are completely normal. Should I be concerned? It used to only happen to 1 ankle, but now it's both of them 24/7. Doesn't matter if I'm on my feet or not. They're just constantly swollen...
This happened to me when I was 9yrs old. At first it was the left foot, then it went down and up came the right foot. By the time I was 14, it was both. I’m now 43 and no one can tell me anything. My father suffered from the same thing. I just read recently that it may have been a genetic mutation that occurred before I was even born. In the winter or when it’s cold, they go down a lot. If I gain weight, stand on my feet all day or if it’s really warm, they get really big. It’s exhausting!
I suffer from the very same thing. An answer to this issue would be greatly appreciated. My doctor always says it’s my high blood pressure but my blood pressure is controlled and I still swell.
thank you for all you do. this video has deeply changed my life for the good. i am feeling 100% better because of your knowledge and endless love. you are a true healer.
You forgot lipedema, which can cause swelling on top of the feet. Lipedema can occur with lymphedema, but it doesn't always progress to that. Metatarsal bursitis can also cause tingling in the toes in addition to pain, but has no connection with circulation problems.
Thanks for this useful video. I have been suffering from years from swollen ankles ..diagnosed with high BP and still it persisted. Got a 2d echo done which revealed sclerosis of aortic valve. So the swelling still persists. Will try these exercises In sha Allah.

This was very helpful, I’m a nurse and standing/ walking all day on the hard floors left my feet sore and swollen. Brooks sneakers helped. Dansko for my plantar fasciitis helped a bit bit but then made it worse. Thank you for all this info!
Great! Went to physical therapy for arthritic back pain. LOVED that angle board, my ankles and calves would feel so good afterward!! I will see a vein specialist in 2 weeks, then a podiatrist. Thank you, the towel- stretching suggestions helped!!
Im freaking out because my feet are a little puffy, health anxiety is horrible, recently convinced myself my heart is failing so yay me. Thanks for the info.😊

My ankles and feet swelled up, but I did not have any pain. I start doing exercises for flexibility recently. I noticed that the swelling in my ankles and feet went down. I had more room in my shoes.
I’m going to find a podiatrist tomorrow morning. I’ll ask my doctor and/or my hospital system for recommendation. Thanks for the great info. I’m in NYC, not Michigan.

One day I woke up and out of nowhere my foot looks swollen. I go to one doctor ( a foot doctor ) and he says that the swelling looks like it’s my foot because that’s where all of the fluid is but it’s actually coming from my leg. Within a few weeks I could tell it was coming from my calf. It’s been months now and nobody seems to know what’s going on. They checked for a clot but there isn’t one. A few days ago my foot felt like it was on fire. That’s the only way I can explain it
I had a close bone fracture ,my right leg .for 2 months being in a cast,still swelling and sore at night..my orthopedic say its already healed in my xtray. but i am asking why still swollen and sore..?
Suffering with left foot/ankle swelling since High School. Was on cheerleading team and stomped too hard, heard/felt a pop, and had swelling ever since. Was told it was lymphedema but after 30+ years later was told it was CVI. Now I'm unsure where/why there is a blockage but would like a Lymphogram/Lymphoscintigraphy or Venogram to pinpoint and hopefully correct the issue. Swelling goes down overnight but eventhough I religiously wear compression stockings it's back by 5p. Therefore I elevate, do calf pumps, lost 40 lbs, and even had my GSV closed with no success. Frustrated!!! Any suggestions???
Thank you I tried the exercise and the pillow exercises...it worked... I now cannot stop moving both foot while I sit down. I will keep you abreast of my progress. I do need to get a more rigorous water intake...Again, thank you and God bless! 🕊️🔥😇 I also, ordered the compression sheer socks...will start low as instructed..

Thank you for this video , I have been having stiffness and pain in my left calve because I broke the tibia up at the ball that goes into the knee vertically down the tibia , needless to say it was painful!! So now when winter comes , that left leg gets really sore due to cold!weather !! Thanks and first-time listener and now a sub !!
Thank you very much Doc. What if only 1 ancle is swollen. And has discoloration and small spider veins. And the time of the day or any other factors have no impact? Thank you
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.
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
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!

Now this sounds better than the doctor who told me to loose weight and I am working on concrete and my feet turns into blocks and can't hardly walk after work.
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 🤔🤷🏻♀️
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.
I'm 7o still as active as I choose to be but have suffered this problem recently due I suspect to inactivity as I have always been very active. Trouble is I could possibly at my time in life experienced or aquired most of those ailments due to my previous lifestyle and thankyou for the knowledge but I think I just can't stop being physically active as it's a proven countermeasure just need to be motivated
I got a good shoe and insert for my shoe with an arch. I make the a,b,c's with my feet every day. I use a big bouncy ball 75 cents at the grocery store. Thank you for this advice I can use it still. 😊

Thanks for this informative video. I have Lipoedema and secondary Lymphedema. I suffer from swelling feet, ankles and legs. I am looking to get the leg pump ones. I have found that doing deep water running(not via a treadmill) helps with the swelling. Mind you living in Queensland Australia and our hot and humid summers makes the legs swell.

What a clear and extremely helpful video. So many things are helpful. I bought a foot massager, very enjoyable before bed especially if you’ve been standing all day.
Great video. My husband had a buino removed about year ago. He gets swelling in his foot. He goes to foot specialist. He tells him. Nothing is wrong but this has been over a year with swelling. Is there any test see what is causing problem.

Dr. Tom, what flat foot what kind of shoes insert is good for the feet. I am 86 years old and born with flat feet so whenever I buy a new pair of shoes size 11.5 I would buy a pair of heel insert to insert inside the shoes to prevent heel pain and I have never experience any heel pain. In this regard, is better to have a sole insert instead of a heel insert only. Thank you.
Wow, we appreciate the kind words and your watching. Absolutely full length insert with a good walking shoe. For the average person my #1 shoe is Brooks Beast or any Brooks with "GTS" in the title. Great brands also: New Balance, Saucony, Asics etc + a good full length insole like powersteps.

@@DrTomBiernacki Dr. Tom, I'm a Chinese Singaporean and living in Singapore in S.E. Asia and I normal patronize the BATA Shoe Shop in my country. It is a distance from Singapore to US. I will try to buy a new pair of Asics as soon as it is available and a good full length insole as recommended by you. In Singapore it is always difficult to buy big shoes like mine nearly 12' as most outlets carry up to 11' or smaller. Anyway, I love your videos and currently your video on Vitamins & Minerals to treat pain is receiving my attention to pick those vitamins and minerals ready as we aged our pain in the various joints will emerged for sure. Dr. Tom, thank you very much and may the good Lord bless you and your loved ones abundantly.
I had SWELLING edema for long time, over a decade, maybe longer. Tried many treatments including those tormenting pressure socks which just transfer swelling. Doctors did know cause. For a recent infection, was prescribed doxycyclineby a doctor for infection. Side effect was that Edema also went away quickly. Edema has never returned. You would be amiss not to try it if you don't know cause of your swelling.
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.
Strengthening all the muscles (big and small) in legs, ankle, and feet is extremely important. Wearing shoes that apply constant arch support weakens those muscles over time increasing your chances of tearing a ligament or twisting an ankle or even worse. People need to be walking barefoot more often. If you have to wear shoes then go with the barefoot shoes.
Your environment has a lot more of an effect than you think as well. I live in a highly humid area and my legs are swollen no matter my diet, exercise, etc. Visited Italy and had no swelling from quite literally 4 hours after we got off the flight until we got back home.
Man is it ok that swelling comes back after 3 weeks I sprained my ankle? It was gone initially but now the swelling comes back! I also feel pain when walking, is it ok, considering I rested 3 weeks and now giving load? Or it s a sign of damaged ligaments?
I've always had bad feet. In 2009 I had a triple fusion on my right foot due to pain caused by a painful talocalcaneal coalition. So now that foot is rigid because of the 3 "pins" in it. The left foot isn't much better. Both feet are flat and pronated due to ( hallux valgus/ hammer toes). Now because of my toes, my right knee is turned inwards and painful. I am now 60, around 200 lbs and female. I used to work mostly standing jobs but I haven't worked since 2019 Sept but still have ongoing foot issues. Your info however is great and very helpful.

Hi. Thank you for sharing your story! I have got flat feet and my foot issues have gotten progressively worse over the years. I replied on someone else's post about carnivore diet possibly helping swelling. I just wanted to mention a quick (fun!) fact that i read the other day , something i had not heard of yet ( and i read about it a lot!) Anyway someone mentioned that after going carnivore, i believe it was 8 months, but they said their flat feet began to "normalize". It made me want to give it a shot. Tons of other health benefits to be had as well. Facebook group zeroing in on health has lots of info and people sharing their results. I hope something will help you!!!!
I am 57 and I had no problems until I walked into aome wood and got splinters in my shins leading to golden staph infection in both legs. this was during lockdown. Took almost two years to clear. I have ended up in hospital twice on strong IV antibiotics because I get a bit of swelling, but main problem is my feet curl up side to side like an arch and push up the bone for the middle toe, cuts off circulation and I get like some gangrene in those toes. I aso have dry discolored skin from half way down the calf. I have had cat scans, ultrasounds etc and they find no vein or artery problems, blood sugar is slightly high but not much, but the curling of the foot is very painful and the sores on the toes are hard to control and the curling up of the foot is constant pain many days. I take magneisum, tumeric with black pepper, compression socks, tried stretching etc, the only thing that really seems to do much is stay totally off my feet. It seemed to start with cramps/knots in the lymph system down the outside of my calf, from the knee down, I raised this with every doctor, including a bunch of specialists and they seem to all ignore this info about how it started to develop, but remain otherwise mystified. In the early days I could massage just these knotted points and get good relief and see the swelling go down as you watched. It's at the point where I am not really interested in wasting any more time with the doctors because it is near zero result, many conflicting explanations etc etc, at least some of them are bullshitting because they can not possibly be all correct. Plus it is very time consuming and expensive, even with top health cover (Health insurance in Australia is not really insurance, it only covers part costs, you just cannot get insurance that covers full costs). About the only thing that seems to bring relief other than total rest with elevated feet is I got an electric vibrating massage unit, 24VDC, from a massage chair and vibrate my feet fairly intensively and get some temproary relief, but maybe a hour. Could this really be just from a long lived golden staph infection, or was that maybe a coincidence? What to do?
Try eating a large green salad every day. Like one entire bagged salad kit. That will get rid of the swelling. Also take a total mineral supplement like from Youngevity. Start putting an ointment with silver in it on any inflamed areas. Like Curad silver. Best wishes. I feel your pain and it has to be scary.
Thank you so much for this video. Your video has helped me understand a few issues I'm currently having with swelling in my feet and ankles. I have already started with elevation of my legs as well as ankle pumps. This has really helped me tremendously.

👍🏽the part of our body that takes all our weight, supports us through gravity, can take a pounding and deserves all our love (but more often than not, doesn't get it!) Brilliant video! I'm mature and I know my feet need all the love. Thank you for the advice!
What does "get a note for a chair "mean? I asked my last "Dr" to refer me to a neurologist if he couldn't understand and help me, but he refused to. I am so disheartened by doctors "treatment" and want my life and health now..
What I meant by "note for a chair" is that I have had success writing letters to the employer so that the worker does not have to stand at work as much if they are in pain but want to keep working. Employers are more flexible these days.

Great video! I watched it twice I noticed you didn't mention compression stockings. Wondering why? I hear a lot about them and know that lots of people use them What kinds of problems would be helped by compression stockings? Thanks
I can tell you this, watching this video reminded me that I had bought some off Amazon. Copper compression. I just put them on and already my legs feel better!
As long as you wear warm, long, tight fitting stockings, you are fine. Some ppl who wear tight compression stockings, it helps at first but after a while, suffer as blood circulation is hindered. If you must wear them, do not wear them too long.

What do you think of electrical devices like the Revitive device. Do these work to help the muscles/circulation in your feet and lower legs? How do you find a good foot doctor?
Thank you very much for taking the time for this video. I have had plantar fasciitis symptoms for over a year and severe edema due to cirrhosis. I have been thinking of seeing a podiatrist. After watching I will be contacting one here in Colorado.

I've had plantar fasciitis for a year as well and also severe swelling in both legs . I've tried everything you can think of to take it away. I'm recently elevating my legs at least twice a day and my feet are feeling so much better and the swelling has significantly gone done
Doc. My left foot has been swollen for the last 9 years. I’ve been to many doctors and had many tests done. X-rays. Ultrasounds etc. I am healthy and workout a lot. My left foot ranges on swelling, some days it gets really tight and swollen. I wear the compression stockings most of the time to mitigate the problem but I am really tired of this issue. Any ideas?
Reduce sugar n caffeine intake, chk for amount of sodium in water bottles, do all the excercise he recommended, change shoe insoles or shoes, wear compression stockens not socks. And check with a vein expert that can do ,xrays on your legs n feet, the podiatrist didn't really help me but my cardiologist referred me to a vein specialist that recommended all the above n TODAY I am doing very well.
I have a swollen ankle for years now since I've started driving ,I'm a driver i did everything to help myself I have been checked for such disease heart failure,kidney failure they don't find solution ,i even got to the xrays still they said I am good but my ankle keep swollen,
Hello, my father's feet and legs are swelling now. He has polmonary tb, pneumonia, and pleural effusion. After the extraction of the fluid of the lungs, his feet began to swell. What signa could it be? please help. what are the remedies?
I have slightly swollen feet possibly due to the blood pressure medication amlodipine, no other symptoms. Told by medic it's not a problem. Hope he's right.
I suffered from edema and was taking Amlodipine. My GP changed the blood pressure medication to Lercanidipine and my edema slowly disappeared completely over about six months. (My age is 85). If you are prescribed a diuretic (standard NHS treatment) I must say that, in my opinion, that is likely to cause kidney failure in the long term.

I had rather bad Edema in both of my legs, I noticed the change in my legs just after Christmas and put it down to still having a bit of a lazy mans Covid belly. Then it came too late March-April time and things suddenly escalated, they were not so much painful or sore by themselves but had really nasty and heavy swelling, ankle problems including pain making walking incredibly uncomfortable. I went to the hospital and the Doctors checked me over and put me on antibiotic once they'd ruled out a DVT. At first felt as if they were working, they were not and had a gut feeling it was never Cellulitis. Went for my next week check up which had me in severe anxiety mode as they wanted to rule out the more serious problems aka heart failure, lung problems. Had a chest x-ray was given water pills and a week later came back everything was fine. Over time the Edema in my right leg has now completely gone down to pretty much normal sized leg, the left however has reduced enough for it to be closer enough to normal leg size but it is still swollen slightly, still a little inflamed and has me on watch mode to be safe. it's kind of gotten stuck at the same size. I am now using compression stockings on my left leg from my ankle upto my knee to keep it regulated. In the end they couldn't find any major cause and put it down to Stasis Dermatitis which caused poor circulation. For years I kept getting a weird pins and needles tingling sore sensation through my feet and toes when exhaling heavily, and in my hands too. This was accompanied by sudden onset anxiety with symptons that didn't fit anxiety, swallowing issues and all through my twenties. I sit down alot but I get up and move about every 30 to 60 minutes. I am monitoring it due to the slow onset and length my Edema lasted and the fact it was bilateral with no known usual suspect being the cause. My biggest worry is Diabetes type 2 giving me some early warning signs in my mid 30s as it runs in my family and know it can lay dormant for decades in some people. I still do not 100% know what caused my legs and ankles to swell as huge as they did or why whatever was causing it is certainly not gone just gone into remission maybe, are my legs even the problem or a warning to worst?.
Thank you for sharing this. I guess it’s time to go see a dr. I have a swollen left ankle w spider veins along with some numbness, tingling & warm foot. This is not due to any injury. 🤞🏽
Lymphedema is a real disease. Hard to manage. Keys included daily exercise, self massage, wearing compression stockings, drinking lots of water, and elevating your legs. It can be very painful. 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
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 ...
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.
Tell me about it lymphedema isn,t a joke about 10 million ppl have this and you have this condition for the rest of your natural born life the only problem is that it isn,t as well known like the other conditions like diabetes or epilepsy and it should be
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.

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.
Excellent, I love those guys as well!

Thank you so much from Canada
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.

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
I drink fresh ginger with lemon juice cinnamon and cloves I also eat fresh organic garlic
Great tip, thank you!
This doctor is great I absolutely love to hear everything he has to say
You are 100% right about everything. I’ve been rebounding for some time and it has HUGE effects. Not only a dramatic health improvement, but reduces cellulite, weight loss, and lymphatic drainage.

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.

Get compression socks.. long ones .. you'll need to get measured for them first, believe me they work perfect!
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.
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)
@@s.winfreyhey did you find out how to avoid feet swelling in the heat from a doctor?
Another one is Venous Insufficiency. Wearing Tuby Grip stocking around the foot all the way up to the knee really helps
keep the swelling down.
This has definitely pushed me to make an appointment with a podiatrist.
I’m in the UK, but with a long term underlying health issue it’s certainly affecting my feet and ankles.

I found a method that is very effective for me. I wore thick leg warmers that cover my legs' calf from the knee to the ankle when I sleep at night. After a few days, my swollen feet & swollen ankles, swollen ankles were not swollen anymore. This may not work for everyone but it definitely worked very well for me.
Lol I think you might have just invented a cost effective pair of compression socks. But I guess Compression socks have a content of mercury in them. I’d look into yours though.

Turmeric Ginger and Garlic I know, but never knew about these peppers 😳.
Thanks, We really learn everyday. Have you tried taking some Magnesium too? Almonds, Broccoli, Dark Chocolate? They work great for swelling too.
@@MovieRecapsDark the black pepper is for activating the components of Turmeric. Oh, let's not forget Curry Powders.
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. ❤

I been dealing with both my feet and legs swelling for over 20 years. I had test done, they always come back ok. I would like to know why. I am unable to wear sandals and other types of shoes. It's a mystery to me. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.❤️🙏
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 UA-cam too. Hope this helps.
@@MovieRecapsDark There is another cause that many people do not consider. I also have swelling In my lower legs, ankles and feet. I have had every test imaginable to isolate the problem without a diagnosis. One thing I know that can cause it is Rheumatoid arthritis in the knee joints. I have Rheumatoid. Since I have started wearing knee supports yesterday the swelling in my lower legs has improved and that is in only one day.
Have you ever been diagnosed or treated for swelling or pain in the knees?
im only 20 years old MY FEET DONT FIT IN THE Sandals anymore because theyre so swollen 😭 i dont know why its happening
Same situation with me. So frustrating. I have had every test done nothing is found but my legs and ankles are visibly swollen.

TY !!
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.
I’m so sorry for the pain you’re in. 😢 Have you tried CBD oil or collagen powder? I hope something helps you. 🙏🏻
😊
I have deformed feet too
Due to severe bunions
One foot the toes are all being pushed to the side
I can wear nothing but Birkenstocks and even they are getting harder to get a style that works
Deformed feet are a saddddd sad thing
Thanks!
Graves Disease (thyroid disease) causes skin issues called myxedema swelling in the calves and feet. Dealing with that currently - slow yoga stretches really help and walking for those who are disabled.
I am 87 years old. I live the UK. I do lots of Stocks and Shares, buying and selling shares and watching Shares going up and down, sitting from 8am to 5pm UK time with the result. Edema developed in my legs. both my feet are swollen. I followed someone's suggestion I put four pillows at the end of my bed, and I rest my feet on them for the rest of my sleep it seems to work a little, but I have to see my GP for his diagnosis. Regards.
What if swelling occurs during the day, but when you go to bed and wake up in the morning the ankles are completely normal. Should I be concerned?
It used to only happen to 1 ankle, but now it's both of them 24/7. Doesn't matter if I'm on my feet or not. They're just constantly swollen...
Start doing cardio 💜
I have the same problem. My calf’s are as hard as a rock sometimes. I can’t even fit into my shoes. I’m not sure what to do
This happened to me when I was 9yrs old. At first it was the left foot, then it went down and up came the right foot. By the time I was 14, it was both. I’m now 43 and no one can tell me anything. My father suffered from the same thing. I just read recently that it may have been a genetic mutation that occurred before I was even born. In the winter or when it’s cold, they go down a lot. If I gain weight, stand on my feet all day or if it’s really warm, they get really big. It’s exhausting!
I suffer from the very same thing. An answer to this issue would be greatly appreciated. My doctor always says it’s my high blood pressure but my blood pressure is controlled and I still swell.
Great Video. Thank you. I Suffer alot from ankle Pain and Swelling. I will definitely start a routine on exercising my Ankles.
thank you for all you do. this video has deeply changed my life for the good. i am feeling 100% better because of your knowledge and endless love. you are a true healer.
You forgot lipedema, which can cause swelling on top of the feet. Lipedema can occur with lymphedema, but it doesn't always progress to that. Metatarsal bursitis can also cause tingling in the toes in addition to pain, but has no connection with circulation problems.
Please go back and listen. He does discuss it. Thanks.
Thanks for this useful video. I have been suffering from years from swollen ankles ..diagnosed with high BP and still it persisted. Got a 2d echo done which revealed sclerosis of aortic valve. So the swelling still persists. Will try these exercises In sha Allah.

This was very helpful, I’m a nurse and standing/ walking all day on the hard floors left my feet sore and swollen. Brooks sneakers helped. Dansko for my plantar fasciitis helped a bit bit but then made it worse. Thank you for all this info!

Hookahs sneakers are awesome
Brooks helped me, as well.
Nurses, I think we have it the worst 😩😭

Great! Went to physical therapy for arthritic back pain. LOVED that angle board, my ankles and calves would feel so good afterward!! I will see a vein specialist in 2 weeks, then a podiatrist. Thank you, the towel- stretching suggestions helped!!

My ankles and feet swelled up, but I did not have any pain. I start doing exercises for flexibility recently. I noticed that the swelling in my ankles and feet went down. I had more room in my shoes.
Which exercise
@@marthanyamanga3063 Either running or walking a lot plus going up and down the stairs/hill.
@@sonyx5332thanx 👏cos I have swallon feet for over 30 years now.
I’m going to find a podiatrist tomorrow morning. I’ll ask my doctor and/or my hospital system for recommendation. Thanks for the great info. I’m in NYC, not Michigan.

Where can I get the stick
One day I woke up and out of nowhere my foot looks swollen. I go to one doctor ( a foot doctor ) and he says that the swelling looks like it’s my foot because that’s where all of the fluid is but it’s actually coming from my leg. Within a few weeks I could tell it was coming from my calf. It’s been months now and nobody seems to know what’s going on. They checked for a clot but there isn’t one. A few days ago my foot felt like it was on fire. That’s the only way I can explain it
I had a close bone fracture ,my right leg .for 2 months being in a cast,still swelling and sore at night..my orthopedic say its already healed in my xtray. but i am asking why still swollen and sore..?
Suffering with left foot/ankle swelling since High School. Was on cheerleading team and stomped too hard, heard/felt a pop, and had swelling ever since. Was told it was lymphedema but after 30+ years later was told it was CVI. Now I'm unsure where/why there is a blockage but would like a Lymphogram/Lymphoscintigraphy or Venogram to pinpoint and hopefully correct the issue. Swelling goes down overnight but eventhough I religiously wear compression stockings it's back by 5p. Therefore I elevate, do calf pumps, lost 40 lbs, and even had my GSV closed with no success. Frustrated!!! Any suggestions???
Only noticed it being seated at my desk for hours while working. I’m a diabetic with hypertension and CKD.
Thank you I tried the exercise and the pillow exercises...it worked... I now cannot stop moving both foot while I sit down. I will keep you abreast of my progress. I do need to get a more rigorous water intake...Again, thank you and God bless! 🕊️🔥😇
I also, ordered the compression sheer socks...will start low as instructed..

Thank you for this video , I have been having stiffness and pain in my left calve because I broke the tibia up at the ball that goes into the knee vertically down the tibia , needless to say it was painful!!
So now when winter comes , that left leg gets really sore due to cold!weather !!
Thanks and first-time listener and now a sub !!
Thank you very much Doc. What if only 1 ancle is swollen. And has discoloration and small spider veins. And the time of the day or any other factors have no impact? Thank you
Just two ideas...
1. Do sweaty exercises so the fluid will exit as sweat;
2. Take sauna to induce sweat.
Hope it helps.
Thanks for watching Tiger!
My Mother and I don't sweat and I find saunas claustrophobic.... sounds great but amazing how different we all are...
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.
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
My mil died this way
Heart attack
Bad bad lymphadema
Thankyou for a wonderful video I have swollen ankle. Please can you suggest me what type of shoes we would buy ?
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!

Now this sounds better than the doctor who told me to loose weight and I am working on concrete and my feet turns into blocks and can't hardly walk after work.
Try Birkenstocks
Me too
The info here is great, but your dr. isn't wrong. I lost 25 lbs and it made a huge difference. I cut out sweeteners, additives, seed oils and grains.
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 🤔🤷🏻♀️
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.
Elevation of leg ,warm pad,motrin,n see a doc,god bless all that are in pain...r.i.p. my dad ..
P.s no drugs ,or smoking, drinking
Wow thank you for sharing. We will keep your dad in our prayers. 🙏
I'm 7o still as active as I choose to be but have suffered this problem recently due I suspect to inactivity as I have always been very active. Trouble is I could possibly at my time in life experienced or aquired most of those ailments due to my previous lifestyle and thankyou for the knowledge but I think I just can't stop being physically active as it's a proven countermeasure just need to be motivated

Thanks for this informative video. I have Lipoedema and secondary Lymphedema. I suffer from swelling feet, ankles and legs. I am looking to get the leg pump ones. I have found that doing deep water running(not via a treadmill) helps with the swelling. Mind you living in Queensland Australia and our hot and humid summers makes the legs swell.

Excellent advise!
What a clear and extremely helpful video. So many things are helpful. I bought a foot massager, very enjoyable before bed especially if you’ve been standing all day.

Dr. Tom, what flat foot what kind of shoes insert is good for the feet. I am 86 years old and born with flat feet so whenever I buy a new pair of shoes size 11.5 I would buy a pair of heel insert to insert inside the shoes to prevent heel pain and I have never experience any heel pain. In this regard, is better to have a sole insert instead of a heel insert only. Thank you.
Wow, we appreciate the kind words and your watching.
Absolutely full length insert with a good walking shoe.
For the average person my #1 shoe is Brooks Beast or any Brooks with "GTS" in the title.
Great brands also: New Balance, Saucony, Asics etc + a good full length insole like powersteps.

@@DrTomBiernacki Dr. Tom, I'm a Chinese Singaporean and living in Singapore in S.E. Asia and I normal patronize the BATA Shoe Shop in my country. It is a distance from Singapore to US. I will try to buy a new pair of Asics as soon as it is available and a good full length insole as recommended by you. In Singapore it is always difficult to buy big shoes like mine nearly 12' as most outlets carry up to 11' or smaller. Anyway, I love your videos and currently your video on Vitamins & Minerals to treat pain is receiving my attention to pick those vitamins and minerals ready as we aged our pain in the various joints will emerged for sure. Dr. Tom, thank you very much and may the good Lord bless you and your loved ones abundantly.
Wish I lived closer ever doc should give this ad vise
I had SWELLING edema for long time, over a decade, maybe longer. Tried many treatments including those tormenting pressure socks which just transfer swelling. Doctors did know cause. For a recent infection, was prescribed doxycyclineby a doctor for infection. Side effect was that Edema also went away quickly. Edema has never returned. You would be amiss not to try it if you don't know cause of your swelling.
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.
So sorry for the loss of your wife.💐
@George10767 please don't blame yourself for this. Be happy. S/he would have wanted that.
Strengthening all the muscles (big and small) in legs, ankle, and feet is extremely important. Wearing shoes that apply constant arch support weakens those muscles over time increasing your chances of tearing a ligament or twisting an ankle or even worse. People need to be walking barefoot more often. If you have to wear shoes then go with the barefoot shoes.
Your environment has a lot more of an effect than you think as well. I live in a highly humid area and my legs are swollen no matter my diet, exercise, etc.
Visited Italy and had no swelling from quite literally 4 hours after we got off the flight until we got back home.
When i travel West Africa I experience severe swelling in feet and ankles. Once I get to the U.S, it disappears.
Man is it ok that swelling comes back after 3 weeks I sprained my ankle? It was gone initially but now the swelling comes back!
I also feel pain when walking, is it ok, considering I rested 3 weeks and now giving load? Or it s a sign of damaged ligaments?
I've always had bad feet. In 2009 I had a triple fusion on my right foot due to pain caused by a painful talocalcaneal coalition. So now that foot is rigid because of the 3 "pins" in it. The left foot isn't much better. Both feet are flat and pronated due to ( hallux valgus/ hammer toes). Now because of my toes, my right knee is turned inwards and painful. I am now 60, around 200 lbs and female. I used to work mostly standing jobs but I haven't worked since 2019 Sept but still have ongoing foot issues. Your info however is great and very helpful. Any tips are appreciated! Thank you!👍🏽☺️

Hi. Thank you for sharing your story! I have got flat feet and my foot issues have gotten progressively worse over the years. I replied on someone else's post about carnivore diet possibly helping swelling. I just wanted to mention a quick (fun!) fact that i read the other day , something i had not heard of yet ( and i read about it a lot!) Anyway someone mentioned that after going carnivore, i believe it was 8 months, but they said their flat feet began to "normalize". It made me want to give it a shot. Tons of other health benefits to be had as well. Facebook group zeroing in on health has lots of info and people sharing their results. I hope something will help you!!!!
The fusion didn't fix your overpronation? I'm supposed to have this surgery on both ankles at 33
I am 57 and I had no problems until I walked into aome wood and got splinters in my shins leading to golden staph infection in both legs. this was during lockdown. Took almost two years to clear.
I have ended up in hospital twice on strong IV antibiotics because I get a bit of swelling, but main problem is my feet curl up side to side like an arch and push up the bone for the middle toe, cuts off circulation and I get like some gangrene in those toes. I aso have dry discolored skin from half way down the calf.
I have had cat scans, ultrasounds etc and they find no vein or artery problems, blood sugar is slightly high but not much, but the curling of the foot is very painful and the sores on the toes are hard to control and the curling up of the foot is constant pain many days. I take magneisum, tumeric with black pepper, compression socks, tried stretching etc, the only thing that really seems to do much is stay totally off my feet.
It seemed to start with cramps/knots in the lymph system down the outside of my calf, from the knee down, I raised this with every doctor, including a bunch of specialists and they seem to all ignore this info about how it started to develop, but remain otherwise mystified. In the early days I could massage just these knotted points and get good relief and see the swelling go down as you watched.
It's at the point where I am not really interested in wasting any more time with the doctors because it is near zero result, many conflicting explanations etc etc, at least some of them are bullshitting because they can not possibly be all correct. Plus it is very time consuming and expensive, even with top health cover (Health insurance in Australia is not really insurance, it only covers part costs, you just cannot get insurance that covers full costs).
About the only thing that seems to bring relief other than total rest with elevated feet is I got an electric vibrating massage unit, 24VDC, from a massage chair and vibrate my feet fairly intensively and get some temproary relief, but maybe a hour.
Could this really be just from a long lived golden staph infection, or was that maybe a coincidence?
What to do?
Try eating a large green salad every day. Like one entire bagged salad kit. That will get rid of the swelling. Also take a total mineral supplement like from Youngevity. Start putting an ointment with silver in it on any inflamed areas. Like Curad silver. Best wishes. I feel your pain and it has to be scary.
Thank you so much for this video. Your video has helped me understand a few issues I'm currently having with swelling in my feet and ankles. I have already started with elevation of my legs as well as ankle pumps. This has really helped me tremendously.

What does "get a note for a chair "mean? I asked my last "Dr" to refer me to a neurologist if he couldn't understand and help me, but he refused to. I am so disheartened by doctors "treatment" and want my life and health now..
What I meant by "note for a chair" is that I have had success writing letters to the employer so that the worker does not have to stand at work as much if they are in pain but want to keep working. Employers are more flexible these days.

What kinds of problems would be helped by compression stockings? Thanks
I can tell you this, watching this video reminded me that I had bought some off Amazon. Copper compression. I just put them on and already my legs feel better!
As long as you wear warm, long, tight fitting stockings, you are fine. Some ppl who wear tight compression stockings, it helps at first but after a while, suffer as blood circulation is hindered. If you must wear them, do not wear them too long.
can cardiac hypertrophy cause swollen feet, ankles and legs ?

Doc. My left foot has been swollen for the last 9 years. I’ve been to many doctors and had many tests done. X-rays. Ultrasounds etc. I am healthy and workout a lot. My left foot ranges on swelling, some days it gets really tight and swollen. I wear the compression stockings most of the time to mitigate the problem but I am really tired of this issue. Any ideas?

Reduce sugar n caffeine intake, chk for amount of sodium in water bottles, do all the excercise he recommended, change shoe insoles or shoes, wear compression stockens not socks. And check with a vein expert that can do ,xrays on your legs n feet, the podiatrist didn't really help me but my cardiologist referred me to a vein specialist that recommended all the above n TODAY I am doing very well.
I have a swollen ankle for years now since I've started driving ,I'm a driver i did everything to help myself I have been checked for such disease heart failure,kidney failure they don't find solution ,i even got to the xrays still they said I am good but my ankle keep swollen,

Hello, my father's feet and legs are swelling now. He has polmonary tb, pneumonia, and pleural effusion. After the extraction of the fluid of the lungs, his feet began to swell. What signa could it be? please help. what are the remedies?
If it's safe for him put him on diuretics after consulting with a good doctor.
I have slightly swollen feet possibly due to the blood pressure medication amlodipine, no other symptoms. Told by medic it's not a problem. Hope he's right.
I suffered from edema and was taking Amlodipine. My GP changed the blood pressure medication to Lercanidipine and my edema slowly disappeared completely over about six months. (My age is 85). If you are prescribed a diuretic (standard NHS treatment) I must say that, in my opinion, that is likely to cause kidney failure in the long term.
What about a good foot massage machine with heat. Are those any help?
Wow, we appreciate the kind words and your watching. They definitely can help but generally don't solve the underlying problem.
If reasonable, we would appreciate a quick rating from you, and a good rating makes a MASSIVE difference for us!

Thank you for being such a great fan, and we appreciate you watching!
I have bilateral CRPS and in the past two years have had Stimwave nerve stimulators surgically implanted. The only thing that has worked for me.
I started taking Magnesium for HBP and it saved my swollen legs.
I had rather bad Edema in both of my legs, I noticed the change in my legs just after Christmas and put it down to still having a bit of a lazy mans Covid belly.
Then it came too late March-April time and things suddenly escalated, they were not so much painful or sore by themselves but had really nasty and heavy swelling, ankle problems including pain making walking incredibly uncomfortable. I went to the hospital and the Doctors checked me over and put me on antibiotic once they'd ruled out a DVT. At first felt as if they were working, they were not and had a gut feeling it was never Cellulitis. Went for my next week check up which had me in severe anxiety mode as they wanted to rule out the more serious problems aka heart failure, lung problems. Had a chest x-ray was given water pills and a week later came back everything was fine. Over time the Edema in my right leg has now completely gone down to pretty much normal sized leg, the left however has reduced enough for it to be closer enough to normal leg size but it is still swollen slightly, still a little inflamed and has me on watch mode to be safe. it's kind of gotten stuck at the same size. I am now using compression stockings on my left leg from my ankle upto my knee to keep it regulated. In the end they couldn't find any major cause and put it down to Stasis Dermatitis which caused poor circulation. For years I kept getting a weird pins and needles tingling sore sensation through my feet and toes when exhaling heavily, and in my hands too. This was accompanied by sudden onset anxiety with symptons that didn't fit anxiety, swallowing issues and all through my twenties. I sit down alot but I get up and move about every 30 to 60 minutes. I am monitoring it due to the slow onset and length my Edema lasted and the fact it was bilateral with no known usual suspect being the cause. My biggest worry is Diabetes type 2 giving me some early warning signs in my mid 30s as it runs in my family and know it can lay dormant for decades in some people. I still do not 100% know what caused my legs and ankles to swell as huge as they did or why whatever was causing it is certainly not gone just gone into remission maybe, are my legs even the problem or a warning to worst?.
Thank you for sharing this. I guess it’s time to go see a dr. I have a swollen left ankle w spider veins along with some numbness, tingling & warm foot. This is not due to any injury. 🤞🏽
Gust, see my treatments above, I am free of symptoms. Charlan Pennington.
Great video. I need to go for a podiatrists exam very soon to be assessed for orthotics.
You’re 100x better to my podiatrist!

Lymphedema is a real disease. Hard to manage. Keys included daily exercise, self massage, wearing compression stockings, drinking lots of water, and elevating your legs. It can be very painful. 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
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 ...
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.
Tell me about it lymphedema isn,t a joke about 10 million ppl have this and you have this condition for the rest of your natural born life the only problem is that it isn,t as well known like the other conditions like diabetes or epilepsy and it should be
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.
Drinking lots of water is not a good idea. Drinking when thirsty, but over doing it makes it worse..
