Suggestion and Ideas for my plan:
Suggestions:
Address your stress. Some helpful alternatives include yoga, mindfulness meditation and journaling.
Have a cuppa. Both green and black tea contain substances called polyphenols which have been shown to reduce inflammation.
Book a massage or acupuncture treatment. Research suggests that both massage and acupuncture can help reduce inflammation and (a nice bonus!) provide pain relief.
Avoid smoking and drink alcohol in moderation. Moderate alcohol use generally means two drinks or less per day for men, and no more than one a day for women.
Embrace movement. Regular exercise (at least three to five times a week) not only helps keep you strong and fit — studies show it also reduces inflammation.
Opt for anti-inflammatory foods. The Mediterranean diet includes many foods with anti-inflammatory properties, including oily fish (salmon, sardines), colorful produce, whole grains and healthy fats.
Consider intermittent fasting — with your doctor’s approval, of course! Research shows intermittent fasting can help decrease inflammation even if you don’t lose weight.
Lose weight. According to the National Institutes of Health, losing weight is the single most effective method of reducing chronic inflammation.
I have the same problem I went through many testing I can tell you what I learned:
- If you don't get enough sleep you will get inflammation.
-You need to be careful also with those foods that cause inflammation.
-Drinking liquor.
-Being obese
-smoking cigarettes
-Living with chronic stress, including social stressors like isolation, rejection and loss.
Treatments they suggested were:
Shots of corticosteroids, which are effective at targeting specific problem areas like painful joints.
Non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDS), which are available over the counter (ibuprofen, naproxen sodium) or by prescription.
Vitamins and other supplements, such as vitamin C, vitamin D, zinc or fish oil.
Anti-inflammatory supplements. “Turmeric has been known for its anti-inflammatory effects for centuries — I take it every day,” Amin said. “Garlic is another good one. And capsaicin, from cayenne, can be used on joints externally to reduce inflammation and pain.”
I am in loads of pain with my legs, ankles and feet they do swell.. I am hobbling around from when I get up in the morning right through some nights I cant sleep because of the pain it's like a burning heavy aching from my hips to my toes...
My hands. Sometimes I need to take off my rings and watch as it is too painful. Can't even wear my wedding ring anymore...
My mother definitely has the issue of her feet, ankles, and calves swelling up but that is when her back is acting up and she ends up with something in her back sitting on one of her nerves. She's been check out and everything and it's not her heart, it's not water retention…no reason or rhyme to hers.
She does not have Fibromyalgia, to our knowledge.
I have started to develop signs of swelling in my hands. I typically wear a size 5.5 for my ring finger (left hand) and there are now days that I can't wear my wedding ring or engagement ring because of the swelling. I am a Fibro patient and was diagnosed around 2013(ish…memory is, of course, gone) and this just started about two-three months ago-give or take a month. So this was not something that always happened to me either…
I'm sorry for the swelling and pain that you are experiencing. I hope it gets better for you soon. *gentle hugs*
