leg pain

Heavy legs are no fun!

Keep moving! By moving you promote the circulation in your legs and prevent a heavy and tired feeling in your leg. So try to walk or cycle for half an hour daily.

 

Avoid standing up for long periods. Long standing (or sitting in a position crossed with the legs!) hinders circulation.

Too tight clothing can also hinder circulation and provoke heavy and tired legs.

 

Avoid cold feet. Put your legs up a little at night. For example, put an extra wedge cushion on the foot of the bed to lay your feet on. By putting your feet up, you stimulate the circulation in your legs and it is easier for blood to flow back through the vein valves.

 

Stimulate circulation with alternating baths. Switching baths are also a very good way to stimulate your internal circulation. First, keep your feet in a hot bath for three seconds, then use cold water for three more seconds and repeat this several times. You can do this in the shower too, by pointing the shower head on your legs and spraying hot and cold water on your leg alternately.

 

Walk barefoot every now and then. Walking barefoot in the grass or sand improves circulation. Walk on toes sometimes.

 

Stop smoking. A good tip for smokers among us. Smoking is harmful to the blood vessels and veins. Therefore try to stop smoking.

Pain in fingers

Arthrosis of the hands and fingers are degenerative symptoms that affect the joints.swellings occur with pain and stiffness.
