I had a fall in 2008 and 2009 miscalculating the step on my porch and fell hard on my right leg causing numbness and severe pain. I used a tens machine to stimulate the nerves in my leg and it helped a great deal. I am 68 will be 69 in a couple months and I have been experiencing severe swelling of my upper top of foot and ankle and shin area and I ve iced it to take down the swelling but it doesn t seem to be doing the job. There is always heat in the leg which bothers me with wonder. I mentioned it to my doctor and all he had to say was lose 30 lbs and you won t have the problem. That ticked me off cause he wasn t addressing my concern for this problem and getting to the root of it. I am over weight and the last time the doctor had a test run to see if I was diabetic it came back ok a 5.3 level. So, guess that was ok. I still am concerned about this problem. I can t sit but a half hour at a time or stand no longer than 30 minutes as well. I work a full time job where I stand all 8 hours but I am moving back and forth and keeping active on the job. My energy level has declined some but I am usually very energetic most times. Is there anything that could be done to relive this pain I m having.
