It’s a technique to make it look like you’re making a difference. That fluid is gonna move right back in a few minutes. It doesn’t just disappear. The only way for that to do something is to massage that way through the whole body and then apply compression garments and in an about 4-6hrs you should start to pee some out. Depending on why it’s there, it’ll STILL be back with new fluid if the other fluid even left at all. I live this.

@kassidyjordan5904
6 ай бұрын
@annblake3993 Because (and assuming you have no other condition that is contributing to your excess fluid retention) your body can swell with fluid if you're dehydrated, this is due to a higher sodium concentration in your body. It's one way for your body to prevent complete loss of fluid. When you hydrate, that dilutes the sodium concentration. The kidneys absorb excess sodium, and where salt is water follows , it leads to excreting the excess fluid you were hanging on to. Now, there is probably more involved, but that is as far as I know. If I made any mistakes, feel free to correct me.

7 weeks ago i had foot and ankle surgery. My doctor had to cut my calf muscle away from the fascia because it was too tight, he had to shave the bone on the inside of my ankle, he removed a growth similar to a bunion and shaved more bone and put in screws. He went into the toe joint and scraped and cleaned it out. He cut across the top of my foot and had to do a bone graft. He cut along the outside of my foot and under the outside ankle bone and put in more bone grafts and a rod.. I get so swollen and my foot turns purple if its down very long. I understand the swelling and the misery. 8 more weeks befofe I can have the rod removed then months of physical therapy to learn to walk on it again. Yep, I understand the misery and swelling. I wish i could get it massaged but everything is cut up and bone grafts everywhere.

During high school, I went on a trip to Disney World to perform with my school band. We were staying for 5 days, performing on the first day. The bus ride there took almost 23 hours due to an emergency on the bus. 23 hours of doing nothing but sitting down, save for the occasional bathroom stop. During our 5 day stay at Disney World, most of the trip was waking up early, heading to each if the parks at the time of opening, and spending the entire day at each of the parks, nothing but walking and standing in lines for hours. Now, I was not the most active person and took very poor care of my physical health when it came to exercise, and this trip destroyed my leg muscles lmao. It got so painful to walk that it felt like I was walking on broken feet, and I spent the last day in a wheelchair. When I got back home, I had informed my mom (who was a nurse at the time) about the pain in my legs. When she looked at them, my legs were swollen from my toes up to my knees. You couldn’t even tell where my leg ended and my foot began. I was bed ridden for three days because of the amount of swelling caused by the pitting edema. No wonder my legs were so sore that whole week.

I am not a doctor, but reduce salt intake. Salt causes your body to hold more fluid. Eat less carbs and more like Keto diet, but be careful with higher protein. I am only turning 52 and while I sit at the desk all day I would get swollen feet. By having the right diet I reversed this. I am also Indian by the way. My problem came down to lower kidney function. I am working on this by losing weight as I am obese and increasing water intake. By not drinking enough water I can have lower kidney function. It could have been high blood pressure, but I am only borderline hypertension. Read online and educate yourself, don't just depend on doctors as they have been scripted by big pharma to just push pills. Diet is 80% cure. I am living proof as so many before me.

I want to tell everyone that not every swelling can be treated like this. This is edema caused by poor lymphatic drainage. If you have swelling go to the doctor it can be fracture too not only bone fracture it can be tendon tear. So first of all visit to the doctor

If doctors were acting as massage therapists who would be the doctors? A doctor is a completely different job. He does his job and he orders physical therapy occupational therapy massage therapy speech therapy etc for people who need those things. If he wanted to be one of those therapists he would be in a different School

OMG i love doing this! My friends feet were like garbage cans all up to her knee when pregnant. They were the biggest I've ever seen and I'm a health care worker. She'd lay on the floor and id sit in a chair and rub her feet for hours. Until they were almost back to normal. If there is no pain I'll do this. Sometimes i try to go softly when there is pain, knowing they'll feel much better. I think I've read your not supposed to do this on bed ridden pts though. Just in case you unlodge a blood clot. Idk if its true or not. But be most feel so much better even with the new wrinkles in the feet 😂

Extracellular edema will do this and we have known this for a very very long time. the other part is that it will return very quickly once the patient stands up after surgery. The biggest reason why we say rest and elevation when dealing with an injury to an extremity. .

I did this for my mom at the end of her life. She had a lot of fluid retention because her lungs were no longer working, and her legs would balloon up because she always had or be upright. I was seventeen when I did that for her, I’ll never forget the relief it brought her. It’s why I went into nursing. But our healthcare system is so broken that the focus of nursing now is so backwards. I hope that we can fix it one day.

Just Brands Indica CBD Pen will blow your mind it has no THC, nor hemp oil, it is straight CBD. I suffered needlessly post-op and couldn't take NSAIDS and I couldn't get my swelling down for a month. This caused complications and I researched my butt off to find a way. They have a website! The disposable pens are a game changer for swelling. I was blown away after my second dose all my swelling went down. Docs didn't care and told me to just take Tylenol. 😕 I knew then I had no choice but to find a way to help myself. I hope this helps someone pre-op and post-op. And you can sleep better, and soon move better, so you can heal properly. Do the massages and this yo you are good to go. 🙏✨️

I’m a student physiotherapist at the moment. Last year I learned how edema massages work when the cause is fluid due to a disturbed venous reflux. I learned that the fluid flows in “cabinets” or “compartments”. To reduce the amount of edema, you should start to squeeze proximal and go on distally. At the end of the limb, you go back to the proximal location and do it again but just 1 squeeze less distal then the round before. Well I’m not an expert on edema at all but I wonder why that isn’t showed in the video?

As a person with congestive heart failure who often has edema, I can tell you that massaging hurts! Trying to massage the fluids and swelling is hard to take. It feels like the skin is going to burst anyway. When you add pressure of that manipulation to move the fluids away, that makes it so much more painful for me. I sure hope no surgeon ever tries this with me. If I am awake I will scream!

I was in the hospital for 2 months at Brigham and Womens in Boston MA. My right leg was swollen from my foot to my upper thigh. I couldn't bend or fully straighten out my leg and I was internally bleeding from somewhere in my body so bad that I need 3-4 blood infusions daily. I had about 14 doctors from one of the best hospitals in the world working on me and none of them could figure out what was causing the swelling and what was causing the internal bleeding. They literally tested me for everything you can think of. I had a muscle biopsy, a bone biopsy, a marker test where they mark your blood with radiation to see if they can find out where you are bleeding from but that showed nothing. Finally they came to me after no answers and one of the doctors was like "this just might be something we haven't seen in modern medicine. That scared the hell out of me because I thought I would have to spend the rest of my life like this. I was 25 at the time, they sent me home when I shouldn't have been sent home. I ended up internally bleeding in my apartment in and out of a daze sleeping all day. My mom and my aunt and my cousins came by my house when I wasn't answering my phone and found me literally near death. I was taken by ambulance to a local hospital this time and my blood levels were 2.3 when normally they supposed to be a 13-14 in normal people Ive never been so weak in my life. I spent another 2 weeks in this hospital getting blood infusions and plasma infusions and finally by some grace of God, my blood levels went back to normal and my leg swelling stopped and I finally got to go home. I've been fine ever since and I guess I'll never know what that was.

You should have added and explained why you massaged that area in an upward motion instead of down. Not all viewers may have some form of medical background. .. Due to the lymphatic pathways and location of nodes in lower leg and upper thigh/groin area it is best to massage in an upwards motion toward those nodes to help move fluid away from the affected area. Think massaging everything in the direction towards your heart. Thus can aid in releasing fluid retention that can cause swelling, puffiness, and/or bloating.
