Lymphedema In Legs
 
Has anyone here had to deal with lymphedema in your legs after a surgery or an injury?

I am in a wheelchair 24/7 and my doctor prescribed a Sequential Circulatetor (has knee high inflatable boots and with air compresses and massage legs). My swelling and weeping is gone. This machine moves the water build-up in the legs lower extremities. It feels good!

Thank you Kicker. I'll ask for that at my next appt..

I'm so glad you have found something that works for you, Kicker! I know you have had trouble with swelling in your legs and discussing some where getting your compression stockings on and the devices that assist with that.:hug:

Kelly, I'm sorry you now have lymphedema. Is it in both legs? I hope the doctor can order the machine that Kicker suggested and that insurance covers the whole thing. :hug::hug:
