Lymph drainage
 

Hello Mark in Idaho, and anyone else who may search and read this old thread.

I had a second adult head injury, first in 2017, most recent in Oct 2022. I also had late stage Lyme disease in 2008 which I believe Wars effectively treated.

I’m writing on this thread because I don’t yet know how to post a new thread as a new member. Also, I searched “lymph” as none of the specialists I work with know why I appear to be accumulating small pockets of liquid under my eyes, worse after manipulation or massage of upper back/neck. I sought out someone for lymphatic massage and this relieves the symptoms.

I see lots of talk about the glymph system of the brain, but little to explain why I am accumulating what appears to be lymph under my eyes.

My lymphatic masseuse says she’s never seen this before and wonders if I don’t have a CSF leak? I did not have MRI done, should I?

Any thoughts, please?

Thank you, Iris (TenderHead)

The most common CSF leaks are through the back of the sinus cavity behind the eyes and nose.
