She recently had a battery of tests done and was not able to find out why, in the morning, she feels a tightening around her ankles. She has no clogged arteries and there is no swelling. Isn't there a nuerological problem with these type symptoms? She said it feels like there's a rubber band around her ankles.

It sounds to me as though she may have some lymphatic problems, although you do not report any oedema present. I had that when I was a teenager, and I have full-blown lymphoedema now.

The only thing I can think of is to make sure her weight doesn't
increase (Or she'll have mucho BIG problems), and if she does
experience swelling, she might practise wrapping her legs with
what they call "short-stretch" bandages (NOT Ace, for God's sake! They'll cut off the circulation!) Also, investigate a few
Vodder treatments. (They do help, but they're basically for
extreme cases, like mine.)

And massaging the legs will help enhance circulation, and drain
some of the excess fluid away from the target site.

This may not be much, but I hope it helps, because she could
be having problems early, without realizing it. Good luck.

You have asked a really difficult medical question, being that your sister has under gone a series of test an all came back negative.

You say she has no "swelling", then I can think of only one think that may cause her ankles to fee like there's a ruber band around her ankles.

1) A nerve that travels over tone of the ankle's ligaments may also be damaged in a sprian. The resulting pain and tingling (neuralgia) are often releived, sometimes permananently by an injection of a local anesthetic.

Hi there

Here are some things to consider.


“Every illness or disease is caused by one thing Blockage!” Blockage can be descibed many ways including: physically, mentally, energy (meridians of the body), and spirtually.

A lack of nutrition in your blood can cause everything from low energy and a weak immune system to virtually any disease. Your speed and ability to recover are greatly reduced when you are nutritionally depleted. Nutrition is what builds every cell, every organ and every metabolic chemical in your body. Nutrition is what builds your body; it’s what YOU are made of. Having a rich supply of nutrition in your blood gives you energy, vitality, strength, protects you from disease and illness, and if you get sick, speeds up your recovery dramatically.


Dr Richard Shulze, "Every patient that walked into my clinic was nutritionally depleted".


“Benjamin Franklin - "The best of all medicines are rest and fasting"

Do one or several cleanses to rid the body of toxins in the blood.

Colon, Liver, Kidney, ect are several type of cleanses to consider. Drink Distilled or Pure Water (80% of your body is made of water), herbs, go on a juice fast (or juice in general), exercise, yoga, swim, eat organic foods, chiropractor, acupunture, reiki healer, or run around the block naked! Just do something different!

Best of health to both of you

Cheers

Let me get this right...she's had a load of tests done by a fully qualified doctor, and now you want a bunch of random strangers to tell you what the doctor couldn't???

I doubt it!
