Yes. I only have a left leg and it was so swollen all the time. I had been keto for 4 years, I just took a month off and I had to wear compression hose and sleep with my leg elevated which I hate and it still felt tight and looked bad. I am going carnivore this time and in only 4 days, the swelling is already gone. No more compression hose and I can sleep normal again. And the sad thing is, all those carbs I ate, werent even that good. I am having no problem at all giving them up again.

I have lymphedema stage 3 in my right leg and the Doctors here in South Africa do not want to help me with compression socks / therapy or bandages ... There are now giant Cysts like bulbs protruding over my toes thats constantly bleeding and causing extreme pain to the point where ive had to give up multiple jobs , cant wear anymore shoes on the right. Private therapist also refuse to help until the toes and foot gets treated ... I follow the diet plan along with the exercises and massages ... Currently Id even let a butcher just hack off my foot if he would be willing to ... If any of the Michigan foot doctors could possibly help with any extra advice please contact me I will gladly send photos of the toes leg and foot ... Please any help will be greatly appreciated.

Not saying i have the answers for other people but my doctors kept suggesting eating more vegetables etc. too. But i just kept getting larger & larger & the doctors just kept doubleing my bloodpressure & choleterols meds. A sideeffect of the meds was "water in my legs" & the docs send me thru a nightmare of getting support socks. My doctors also suggested stomach reduction surgery multiple times. 2 years ago my i reached 203 kgs & my eletronic weight stopped working. That was the final straw & i decided to search online for anwers. And everyone was like "Cut the carbs". So i did & started Keto & Omad. My weight today is 127 kgs & ive lost 76 kgs, my meds has been cut multiple times & the water in my legs has nearly fully subsided. Very little loose skin too because of the fasting. Wasnt hard fasting either as its apparently the carbs that make you constant hungry. Again not saying this a cure for anyone else, it just worked for me.

Thank you for sharing your story with us. I followed your same protocol & lost 90 lbs & was doing better, but over Christmas fell off the wagon & found it so unbelievably HARD to get off of the sugar again even though I had been off of it for a yr. The hunger impulses come back like a fire breathing dragon, I swear it is worse than the first time I quit. I am diabetic & check my blood sugar multiple times day. When I was doing intermittent fasting I noticed even drinking a few sips of a diet drink, with no sugar at all, my blood sugar would go up anyway. I wonder if I am so sensitized to sugar that as soon as I taste something sweet , my brain thinks it’s sugar & stimulates the problem. I am Now working getting rid of anything that has any sweetness to it. Has this happened to you? Your comment has really encouraged me to do the right things for myself. Thank you.

@@jtedandlindasimpson7044 Never actually measured my blood sugar at home so cant really tell if im affected by sweetners or not. Do still get a glass or 2 of sugar free diet soda but only when im eating. When im fasting its water/sparkly water & coffee only & it seem to work. But my dentist also keeps warning about how much acid in sodas & that i should quit because its also really bad for my teeth..

I was thankful to learn that I don't have any of these problems. I was concerned as I entered my 50s, a post-menopausal woman, and after being on my feet all day my ankles and then lower calves would swell. Most days I wore restaurant-style crew socks that aren't exactly compression socks, but do enhance circulation. My ankles don't swell when I wear those, but the lower calves do. I had a physical after work one day, scheduled so my doctor could look at it. She pressed on each foot, saw that it was symmetrical, and noted that I don't have varicose veins. She asked if the swelling goes down when I take my socks off and put my feet up. It did, so she said it's not yet a cause for concern, but she suggested some exercises to further enhance circulation. It has kept the swelling to a minimum. Now in my 60s, the swelling occurs less often.

I’m a retired nurse & loved wearing support pantyhose 😂 while doing 12 hour shifts. I had a hip replacement and of course I had those white surgical hose to wear for several days afterwards, loved them! (Plus they were warm 👍). Later in life I’ve had minor ankle swelling, nothing serious so I went to CVS and bought a pair of men’s support hose, had nothing for women, yes foot was too big so I cut off some & I wear them as needed, like when mowing the yard, works great! I wear shoes in the house & special supportive shoes when mowing. I’ve had bunions and hammer toe surgery on both feet, the first podiatrist messed up my right foot, used a different podiatrist for left foot, perfect. Yeah the right foot makes walking difficult, and yes I’m NOT going through that pain again. BTW. Love your channel.

@liberty8424 Жыл бұрын

Most PT. 's don't know a Thing about lymphedema; unless Specifically trained for it. Lymphedema can be caused by cancer surgery removing lymph nodes, car accidents damaging lymph nodes, or war injuries. Many vetetans have lymphedema problems. If your PT is using basic Ace bandages they won't do a damn thing & may make your condition worse. The difference in Ace & lymph wraps is the weave. If you want to test it, wrap a leg or arm, then get it very wet. Ace bandages Fall off! Compression wraps get tighter & Constrict. And Yes, the cheap Ace bandages Fall down, or the PT is Not wrapping your legs correctly. Seek out a Lymphedema Specialist. Good Luck & get Help.

Venavine extract. Changed my life. I used to get adema when standing or sitting for extended periods and especially when it's really hot. Venavine improved my condition 98%.

I have lymphedema in both legs. Venous insufficiency in both legs, i own the exact calf pumps you showed and love em And they are no joke. Way more powerful than others I've tried and super quiet. I also have the full leg pumps prescribed from the docs at Mayo. I also have these neoprene type compressions instead of the low stretch wraps. But sometimes when it gets bad I switch back to wraps for a day or two. I've purchased so many different socks over the past year just trying to find something that works. I get crew or full calf and where does the swelling start at my my upper calf or knees. So I get thigh high open toed well those just barely passed my knees so they roll down and get bunched behind my knees and cause sores and the swelling just builds up above me knees! Finally I got these amazon beand nylon elastic mesh type compression thigh highs and they are the best option I've found and they go all the way to my groin with little silicone dots to help keep in place and they are the cheapest option. I'm 6'4" with a size 16 shoe, was 15 for 25 years till i got lymphedema, so thigh highs are full calf. Knee highs are crew cut, so on. Just get the longest socks you can get no reason to swell at any point in your legs. I also suffer from bilateral peripheral neuropathy so everything hurts. 😢

I was a patient at a Lymphedema center for about 2 months in April-May 2022. As part of the recovery process, I had my legs and feet measured for bespoke compression socks and night boots. The total cost of purchasing 2 pair of socks and boots was over $1500. I wear the socks/boots 22/7. It worked. I now have chicken legs and will be re-measured for new compression socks next week. I was told I would have to do this the rest of my life, which is worth the price and inconvenience.

I had it really bad, I was working for myself cleaning yards part-time and I could barely push a mower, it felt like I pushed it for 20 miles. After the doctors couldn't find anything that normally causes it a kidney specialist took me off Nephedipine. I lost about 50 pounds in about 3 months and all the pain from walking went away. My blood pressure is still a little high so my doctor wanted me to try Amlodipine to see if it was the class of medication or something that was in Nephedipine, within 3 days the edema came back, and I could barely get my shoes on. It looks like I can't take BP medications that end with "pine" Also salt makes it worse, throw the salt shaker away.

Plus, I ordered online from Solaray "Total Cleanse -Lymph", it is an Organic herbal, roots, seeds, etc. capsules. To assist the body in cleansing the Lymph Process. Plus cut out all Dairy, that will be hard, I love my Cheese. Seems to me if you walked up and incline you could stretch the Calf muscles as well, as the walking exercise would be very good. Deep breathing gets Oxygen into the cells. My Left ankle is the issue, my Veterans VA Clinic Doctor just pokes on it and never EVER recommends anything to cure it. Not even a Specialist for this! So aggravating, I have had this issue for over 5 years; I want it gone. Thank you for the shoe recommendations. Umma wraps look like a great idea, as well.

There's this fear i have that exercising will make this worse like i have bad blood in my legs and if i get my heart pumping i'll pump that through my heart and i'm reminded of warnings on tv check with your doctor to make sure you are healthy enough for exercise.
