Hi, I am a practising complementary therapist, and I am shocked that the GP wasn't more concerned!  In the first instance I would recommend that they go back to their GP again just to make sure.

 If everything is ok, then I find that reflexology always helps swollen ankles, feet and legs (as this is normally due to fluid retention).  Also your neighbour should make sure that they drink plenty of water (to flush toxins out of their system) and also take walking exercise during the day to keep any lymph build up in their bodies moving.

Hope this helps.

Hi Anton

I also have very painful swelling onlly in my left leg from my groin area down to the feet. What is the exercises that you do???  

I would be interested in the exercises the Physio gave you for swollen feet and legs =  my father has same and has been told its due to Cholesterol blocking the leg arteries =  he has been on antibiotics for over a month for a toe infection

 

Many thanks Rachel

I have been suffering with a swollen left leg for about 3 months now.I've had scans and blood tests and DVT has been ruled out some days it is better than others. I would be grateful if you could tell me the exercises you do that helped you. My GP thinks that i got lymphedena. THANK YOU JAYNE

Hi Angie,

I have had a left swollen foot now for almost a year. I have had several test run including kidneys, heart, BP, etc. I was then sent to a Poditrist who said I had a stress fracture, after 12 weeks in a boot, still had swollen foot, had artrial doppler done that test came back clean. I found a new Dr. who now believes after reviewing all my xrays that I never had a stress fracture to begin with and doesn't know why my foot is still swollen, I have also tried the compression socks. By the end of the day my foot is just as swollen as if I never had it on. I am willing to try anything at this point so if you have any suggestions please let me know. I would really like to wear my real shoes again! lol.

Hi Anton - I have had a swollen left foot ever since having my first child, (45 years ago) it never gets any less swollen except when I first get up but is swollen by the time I have made the tea.  Very frustrating as I cant get shoes that will fit both feet, doctor gave me an elastic stocking but that is not useful, I dont suffer with high blood pressure and lead a fairly active life so if your exercise works that would be great thanks in advance

Would you teach me the exercises?

thanks a lot.
