Do humans need meat?

 

 

No! There is no nutritional need for humans to eat any animal products; all of our dietary needs, even as infants and children, are best supplied by an animal-free diet. ... The consumption of animal products has been conclusively linked to heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and osteo

+1  Beach resort towns the world over consider re-topping and grooming the beach daily to be just a cost of doing business.

 

Google "beach grooming equipment", "beach dredging" and "beach renewal".  Hoyty toyty places call it "beach nourishment".  Happens all over the world. 

 

 

Not where I live

OK this is a beach

They will help with the swelling, as will elevating your feet when sitting down.

 

Where exactly is the fluid, is it near the ankle or is it the whole leg? 

Not near the ankle but mostly the calv muscle

If D-dimer was also negative this along with negative ultrasound pretty well excludes DVT.

 

In which case PT may be the answer.

I am not familiar with what PT means but I guess I can find out. I very much appreciate your help here

DVT is a blood clot.

 

While ultrasound will usually show it, sometimes it does not and further tests e.g. venogram or MRI is necessary. See  https://www.stoptheclot.org/learn_more/signs-and-symptoms-of-blood-clots/how_dvt_is_diagnosed/

 

The other possibility is that this is all due to tightening of tendons and muscle atrophy while the leg was immobilized. However the treatment for that (stretching exercises and maybe physical therapy) would be contraindicated if a DVT is present as it could dislodge the clot. So it is important to exclude DVT first.

 

Did they do a d-dimer test? (blood test)

yes they did

It must be Nok

When was it done relative to this pain?

 

 

Ultra sound done this Monday after I visited the surgery again having pain after I took of my cast (no don't call it a cast) Just like a heavy boot which I was wearing for about 6 weeks. This Monday was the 22nd of August. As far as i know DVT is caused by a blood clots in the lower leg but I was cleared of that.

So how can I catch DVT without having a blood clots? Just because of immobility of the leg for a long time? I do all the exercises I am told to do and elevate my leg most of the day. ( Lucky I don't need to work anymore )

He seems to be describing calf pain and a swollen (edematous leg). This is not normal and could indicate a DVT which can occur at any time but especially after a period of immobility.  

Sheryl,I had a ultra sound done on my leg which cleared me of any blood clots you would think if I had DVT they would have noticed it. But yes the symptoms are similar to DVT,

Yesterday in the Pattaya suburb of Nong Prue they were accepting registrations for upcoming vaccines at a big school. I went with my Thai wife, though I couldn’t go inside, and a thousand or more were registered. This would be for Sinovac followed later by the Astra Zenika.

My friend registered months ago and so far no word

What I don't understand where I am at the moment I can't receive a Pfizer jab, for over 60 you will only get the Astra Zeneka jab what is different from Thailand and other countries.
