Swollen Ankles, pls help
I don't think you can get rid of the swelling if you don't know what caused it. It's better to check with your gp or run some tests.
Or if you trust chinese medicine, you can try it. It might help.
there are quite a few stuff you can put it on your swollen pankles and it cools it down. but remember the herbs doesn't cure the problem.
wish you good heath!
it could be too much protein or too much salt in your diet. the best thing is to make an appointment to see your gp. heat could also be a factor make sure you drink plenty of water and put your feet up whenever you can
avoid salt, elevate your legs when they re bad, and try to take a small daily walk, to help push the fluid out. You should see a doctor and get a chest -w-ray to check your heart-swollen ankles are a warning sign of C.H.F. or other heart related ailments
You can try putting blocks under the foot of your bed to put your feet higher than your heart when sleeping. This will drain the fluids away from your feet and ankles.
Get some surgical stockings at the drug store. They will help your ankles from getting so big the skin stretches and folds over.
No salt at all and rinse canned foods before cooking with them. Use salt free everything. Get a salt substitute.
When you sit and watch tv put your legs higher than your heart. It works on gravity. The harder your heart has to work to circulate that fluis the weaker your heart will become.
try massage and ask your doctor if there is anything to take the swelling down
I think you're gorgeous, swollen ankles and all!!
Hi i have the same problem as you, i have had it for the past 30years ever since my last child was born. Before i had no swollen ankles, now as soon as the weather gets warmer they swell.I still haven't found a solution. I wish you good luck.
You mentioned you have high blood pressure. The only time my ankles ever swelled was after the birth of one of my children, when my blood pressure shot up. They were huge, and water was literally coming out of my feet; they were slipping on the soles of my flip-flops!
You could try magnetic therapy to stop the pain and swelling; Also, I would get on a natural blood pressure med too. New Sun has some great stuff that could help
