Back when I first joined NT (or thereabouts) and hadn't a clue (as if I've got one now) my DW was massaging one foot every morning for 10-20 min (leaving the other alone as a control) to see if it would be therapeutic. It seemed to make a slight difference, but nothing epiphanic, and after we stopped, things seemed to even out again. I think I've experienced more improvement from some of the supplements, though it's hard to gage because progress is so slow. Then again... who'd turn down a foot massage?

Lately, as Forrest Gump might say, "for no particular reason," I've got significant edema in my feet again. This seems to come and go for weeks at a time, and I haven't been able to put my finger on the reason why (though I can sure put my finger on the edema, and the impression stays right there...
) I do have noticable pain/sensitivity along with it.
Foot massages (or more aptly, pressing the fluids out) helps a good bit with this pain/sensitivity, (not to mention making my slippers fit more loosely) albeit temporarily. I'm hoping that keeping it up will prevent/retard any permanent damage, and can't wait until it goes away again...
