Most all our life’s we have heard about so called “natural remedies” either from our parents or grandparents or the wife’s tell stories. In this blog we will give you a true “live” example of how two natural remedies actually helped this individual with his painful knees and fatigued legs.
Why not – TRY – two “old fashion” natural Remedies that WORK for painful knees and fatigued Legs!! I’m a retired gentleman, 71 years old and I felt I had to tell my story, so others can hopefully benefit from my experience.
I was working around my home and fell off a scaffold about 15 feet, 3 years ago. I landed on my hands and feet, fractured my arm and was busied quite a bit. Months later my knees started bothering me, even though at the time of the fall I did not break or facture my knee.
I’ve tried all sorts of ointments and rubs, mornings and night for relief, nothing helped. I don’t believe in getting hooked on pain meds and worry about all the side effects they can cause. I wanted to help myself with “natural” healing products if possible.
Through research and reading I have finally got relief “naturally” by using two OLD natural remedies.
I first experimented with Epsom Salt soaks. I read up about the good effects it has on joint pain, edema, inflammation and blood circulation, which were some of the exact symptoms I was having.
3-times a week, I give my knee’s a soaking in EPSOM SALT. In the tub I run just enough warm to hot water to cover my legs fully. I use 3 cups of Epsom Salt according to my weight, and soak for 20 minutes. The magnesium sulfate in the Epsom Salt works to improve circulation and reduce swelling. The salt easily absorbs through the skin, giving me “immediate” relief from the swelling and the pain in my knees.
The second – natural remedy – is wearing light support socks on a daily basis. In my research, I found article after article about the “good effects” wearing support socks. I wear socks on a daily basis, anyway, so why not wear support socks that make my legs and feet feel good all day long. I ask my primary doctor, he suggested going with a lightweight support sock.
You might ask, how does the support socks help my knees? I learned support socks are all about graduated compression to improve blood circulation. The compressed squeeze the socks gives to your ankle and calf, provides better blood flow going up your legs, allowing more oxygen in the blood for healing of joints and relief of pain even in my knees. I wear the 15-20 mmHg which is considered a light compression level. These socks actually energize my legs and feet. My legs don’t feel tired and fatigued at the end of my day, like they once did.
Noted in a well-known health medical journal Pub Medical. A must-read article – Impact of compression stockings on leg swelling after arthroscopy – a prospective randomized pilot study. The aim if this pilot study was to evaluate the effect of compression stockings versus no compression on post-operative swelling and pain in the early post-operative phrase. The Conclusions noted: post-operative limb swelling can be reduced significantly by wearing compression stockings in the early post-operative phase when compared to not wearing stockings. This may improve the rehabilitation process after arthroscopic surgery. The optimal duration of compression therapy seems to be between three and ten days.
