Lymphedema Explained

[@natashabaldwin2005]

This was a great video..Most people are unfamiliar with this condition so we get a lot of negativity and insensitivity about our condition..I’m 47 and I was born with Lymphedema..I went undiagnosed until my late 20’s..Now my swelling is in my legs, arms, belly and face. It also causes issues with my lungs and my balance. I also have Lipoedema..Thanks for posting this video! ❤

I'm going through the same thing man and it makes my life difficult especially when associated with staph infection

I went out with a friend, who told me that my arms was swollen at first I thought it was fat, but as time went on I realized that the swollen face wasn't the only symptoms I saw. The ankles feet and legs got swollen. But with the help of Dr Iyhere everything went well.

Excellently explained. Thank you

How many lymph nodes do you have in the lower half of the body?? I had surgery and the lymph nodes were checked for cancer. Unfortunately, they were all fine however I now have lymphedema! I have recently learned that there are some surgeries that will reduce the fullness of arms and legs. It is super microsurgery that will reconnect the lymphatic system to the bloodstream to rid fluid from the body!

I have this and MS. Lymphedema sucks way more than MS, in my oppinion.

I am James Osborn a 69 year old man, who was diagnosed with Edema although I have heard people speak of it. I never imagined that at this age it would be involved in my case. I met Dr Iyhere online on youtube, through the help of my son. After I took his drugs I have been relieved.

I look at a human and it looks simple. Until you look further. I look at a diagram of E. Coli and it looks super complex. Because it is. But it works so well. Life in incredible.

I presently suffer from Weeping Lymphedema. Through a series of connections, I was given the Flexitouch Plus System. Since I live alone, I found this device to be an extreme pain in the ass to put on. Additionally, due to the enormous size of this contraption and my tight living space, I had nowhere to store it. I emailed Tactile Medical and told them of my situation and asked for a return mailing label so that the device could be passed on to someone else who could use it. They told me that if I wanted to return it I would have to pay. With that attitude, I put the entire contraption on the curb for the trashman to collect. Now, I am not saying that Tactile Medical has a bad product, but for them to tell me to shove it when I asked if they would like the device back for a possible re-donation, left a bad taste in my mouth. Since then, I found another company that gave me a much simpler device to use. It consists of two devices. One for each leg and each leg consists of one air hose. You put your leg in what resembles an oversized boot, zip it up, and set the timer on the control box. It feels like someone is taking their hands, starting at your ankle and pushing upwards towards your thigh, and repeating the process.

[@toronhiko1777]

can i ask the name of latter device?

[@deesheets9926]

Yes, the boots work amazingly. Cost is expensive, over $3,000, yet creates amazing outcome.

[@Paratzi]

So basically; run daily, and maybe use leg wraps on occasion = No lymphoedema? I need to know for sure because I don't EVER wanna get this 😭😭

[@deesheets9926]

Surgery is considered a last resort. The pain is unbelievably strong in my case. BTW, diuretics do not help the issue of edema due to lymphedema. I suffer greatly every day and cannot express how horrible quality of life is.

[@Marginal391]

Thank you 🙂

@@ritabecca2813 You're saying that you are totally free from lymphedema. Are you saying that you never had lymphedema? Is this why you say, "I see right now am totally free from lymphedema."
