Anybody have any at home remedies for poor ankle circulation to stop the pressure?

Question

In motorcycle accident and had surgery. Have been keeping it up but when I do put it down there is a lot of pressure. Dr. told me it will be months before any change. Just seeing if anyone as any suggestions. Thank you for your time

Answer 1

Try support pantyhose. Surgical hose are too tight at least until you have fully recovered from surgery. Look for graduated compression 8-15 mg. Anything more could aggravate the sight of the surgery.

Answer 2

Hi Nib's momy: yea I know a good house remedies
use an heatingpad or sport's ice pack they are the best source
for ankle injury sometimes .We do have swollen area because
of an sprain at lease treat it just by staying off your foot elevate
too were circulation feels better only!

Answer 3

I am not sure if this would help or not but have you tried those compression socks? You might have to order them on line but they might help. I had a friend with a ankle condition caused by poor circulation and her doctor told her to invest in those socks.
Best of Luck & Feel Better!

Answer 4

Well, there are a few remedies. In my country we use this balm that we call "manteca de ubre". It's a way better version of Bengay and all that generic stuff. Look it up on the internet. In India they also use a spice called turmeric, but it would have to be ingested through something. I don't know much about that, so you may want to look it up as well. I hope you feel better!

Answer 5

Soaking your feet in warm water if you're not in a cast of course, and there is a mentholated salve called Unker's it's like Icy hot, but it has a multitasking quality it can also be used on your chest for colds, anyway you can find it in bulk food stores. Also use the support hose and socks, and if anything else use your preferred pain reliever.

Answer 6

arnica gel. not many drug stores carry it but can get it the next day.@5bucks. it reduces swelling & can take the color out of a bruise. not sure why it isn't more popular. keep it wrapped if you have to be on it ,or higher then your body to circulate all that bad blood out. rehabilatate to spec. some meds dr's prescribe cause swelling so know what your taking.

Answer 8

Try a vitamin E lotion fortified with vitamins A and D. It is not a cure but will help if applied first thing in the morning and right before bed.

Answer 9

Keeping off of it is by far the best thing to do. Additionally, you could limit you sodium intake (no sodas). Sodium causes your body to retain water which can cause swelling and adds to the pressure.

Answer 10

ice-pack occasionally, you can get those blue-gel packs you keep in the freezer, then wrap it around your ankle when you go to bed or take a nap. It reduces inflammation without drugs, and reduced inflammation reduces pressure
