I agree with Theresa--nothing wrong with having it checked out. I'm still on high BP pills so not everything goes away. And my cholesterol skyrocketed. But just think how worse things would have been with over 100 pounds ago. Hope you find out something soon.<br /><br />Also I hadn't heard of,that book but truly believe the less processed food we eat the worse we feel. I think I might do a post on that one day. But do whatever works for you.

They have a screen that catches the plaque or whatever it is and it restores the blood flow to the legs. The releif is immediate. My sister-in-law said the worst part is that you have to wear a compression hose for a few weeks after, but then after that, you're good to go. Anyway, it's worth a trip to a vein center in your area to get evaluated and see if that's what the problem is. My friend's practice is about 1/2 now doing this type of procedure. He said that it is so fulfilling, people who were unable to walk unassisted are just immediately better! Get thee to a doctor. And thanks for your comment on my blog. It's Hell to get old! But at least we're in good company, LOL!<br />Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07794746954511347596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1766613753047552174.post-19473203225151228872012-08-15T12:06:25.293-07:002012-08-15T12:06:25.293-07:00Holy Moly..Theresa..what did they do for your sist...Holy Moly..Theresa..what did they do for your sister? I once went in at my heaviest and he just said it was shot valves from pregnancy (didn't mention the weight although at the time I though he was a big chicken for not saying so). If there is some quick thing I would LOVE to know about it.<br /><br />xxxoooTinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16965135571189867376noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1766613753047552174.post-44918805530079527042012-08-15T07:11:43.514-07:002012-08-15T07:11:43.514-07:00*Arterial....can't spell!*Arterial....can't spell!<br />Theresahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07794746954511347596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1766613753047552174.post-41108740400262655822012-08-15T07:09:30.699-07:002012-08-15T07:09:30.699-07:00The diet info sounds great, but...There's alwa...The diet info sounds great, but...There's always a but! I'm not a doctor, but I think you should see a cardiologist and be evaluated for Peripheral Aterial Disease. One of my best friends is a cardiologist, he says that millions are treated every year for swelling in the ankles and feet with diuretics and it's just a band-aid on a bigger problem. A simple procedure can clear a blockage and restore blood flow eliminating pain and swelling. An ultrasound is all it takes to diagnos it. My sister-in-law just had hers done, for 20 years she's been suffering with swelling in just one ankle, a 20 minute procedure and now she's doing great!
