Always such great information! Thank you Kelly!☺

[@CancerRehabPT]

I am so glad it’s helpful! 😊 thank you for the support!

[@heatherreadsreddit8579]

Lipedema also causes swelling. You might want to add it into your title and keywords, in order to help even more people who are searching for relief. Thank you!

[@hdevere1]

Thank you very much for this video. It is so helpful. I’m going to order the Mobiderm form. Please keep making these videos. It makes me feel less alone with this debilitating condition.

[@EllenSails]

Thank you so much for your clear and concise videos. Would these wraps be effective on uterine fibroids?

[@ruthbaker4562]

Thank you so much for this excellent help ❤

[@CancerRehabPT]

You are so welcome!

Thank you I am restarting my lipo lymph journey in detroit Ann Arbor area. Unibody Michigan a center for excellence for lymph so will be trying to connect up with especially coming into the new ICD CODES & STANDARD OF CARE THANK YOU AGAIN!!

[@PBenedicte]

Very interesting. Thank you!!

[@chuckmayerchak3071]

I would like to ask you a question off topic of this video. I have mild swelling mainly in my left foot and ankle area from inguinal lymhnode surgery as a result of stage 3 penile cancer. The nodes were all negative. Your tutorials for exercise massage and dry brushing have worked wonders for me. Byvthe way I'm 74 years of age. That being said what compression level stockings should I wear for daily use I'm retired but like to be on my feet for 4 to 6 hours per day. I'm currently using 15 to 20 knee hig Trueform. Thank you so much for all your effort making such helpful videos. You have made my life so much more enjoyable!

[@CancerRehabPT]

I’m so glad the videos have been helpful information! Thank you for sharing that. Unfortunately, I am unable to answer personal medical questions - but this would be a question a local therapist could answer after assessing your legs in person! I love that you’re staying active on your feet!

I am 6 months post liposuction and have some hardening on my belly, how long would I have to use the small foams in a day?

[@narantuyaenkhtaivan3851]

Thank you for all information. I have already bump on my neck. Should i do exercise for my neck

[@jackienewberry180]

Do you plan to do a video on use of Mobiderm? I have lymphedema of one leg and fibrosis on the lower part of the calf. They also have garments lined with Mobiderm. Thank you so much. I learn so much from you.

[@CancerRehabPT]

Yeah, I've had a few questions about them. I do have one coming out in the next 1-2 weeks to share them. 🙂 Do you have one of their garments?

[@jackienewberry180]

@@CancerRehabPT I have the wrap. I plan to get the garment after the new law goes into effect. I received the wrap from my clinic after I alerted them to Mobiderm after seeing your video. I'm using the wrap under compression bandages and/or Sygvaris Velcro wraps. I've spoken with the new area rep. They do not have user friendly videos yet, which I suggested they need to create. The video I did watch, an hr and a half, was pretty academic, almost sleep inducing during the first hr. The last half hr showed a bit more on use. They showed a number of layers under the wrap. But the clinic therapist, who met with the rep, said that was overkill and that stockinette should be sufficient. I'm wondering if wearing the garment the majority of the time may make enough of a difference not to need the pump twice a day. I am 79. I developed lymphedema a year ago, no explanation as to why. I was so fit and healthy, exercised a lot. As I'm sure most people who develop it experience, it's turned my life upside down. I'm a retired RN, and I always do lots of research to find more answers. I was thrilled to find you and saw that you were confirming what I was learning during acute treatment. I followed along with your videos when I wasn't quite sure about recalling the care at the clinic. I am hoping that the Mobiderm garment makes management easy and effective enough that I can once again travel to see my family 2000+ miles away. Travel might be a good topic for a future video. Thanks again for the information.

[@vivienneink]

What exercise can you suggest for lymph edema in the ankles and legs?

[@CancerRehabPT]

I have a full playlist of exercise videos on my channel! Check it out in the playlist section 🙂

[@Magretandrews]

Thanks a lot Dr osuma for your care ,support and tolerance ,towards my health condition having fibrosis almost ruined my entire life...

[@CraftingFaith]

I have lymphedema that effects the right side of my stomach. Should I wear the compression shorts? I never have gotten an answer if this is something that will help or not. Thank you so much for your videos.

[@kathy6989]

Thanks, this is very helpful!! Can you please do a video of how to treat fibrosis in the shoulder (front and back)? Besides massaging, is there a way to wrap that area? I can't seem to find anywhere. Thanks for your videos!

[@CancerRehabPT]

That’s a tough area! I can do that 🙂

[@annflint9618]

​@@CancerRehabPT would you use large or small block for breast fibrosis?

[@annflint9618]

Is there a compression bra?

[@gregdagostino2714]

How do you reduce fibrosis in the neck region. I do your lymph node drainage but neck is still stiff. Recently had malignant tonsil removed and 24 lymph nodes in my neck. Also had 20 rounds of radiation and 2 rounds of chemotherapy. Thank you

[@hezekiahsparrow8607]

I am interested in the mobiderm products. I had 123 lymph nodes removed from cancer surgery eight years ago. Complete larynjectomy with tep for speech.

[@1019lms]

My CLT insisted that I have the bandaging against my better judgment and I lost my job as a result.

[@SteelerQueen]

I have PRIMARY Lipo-Lymphedema with severe fibrosis in my Bilateral Lower Extremities and NO Treatment, Dr, MLD, or PCP, that has any idea what to do in my local area! The inhumane PAIN & SUFFERING, I have endured in the last 10 yrs has become unbearable! I have had more than ENOUGH! How do I find help?

[@Medusa-jo9re]

I relate so much to this! Did you ever find help?

[@SteelerQueen]

@@Medusa-jo9re NO not yet! 11 1/2 yrs.....have you?

[@samhugh4965]

How does one use this product on the toes?

[@CancerRehabPT]

Personally, I would try folding it over the toes as a whole. There are some various toe pad products out on the market

[@alyssakay2373]

Where to find full leg wraps?

[@kathrynbrown6319]

Do you have a video on radiation fibrosis in the chest and axilla after breast cancer treatment? I had a double mastectomy with no reconstruction, then radiation on one side. That side is extremely tight and uncomfortable; no lymphedema though.

[@CancerRehabPT]

I do! I have a full playlist on this topic. You can find it here: kzbin.info/aero/PLEMlEDKDlobkD3xPw60CDY1q4lmAoBy0B&si=UTQsqc9ut7j9UF-A

[@carolcrane2632]

Where can I get the foam wrap? Thanks! I have Stage IV Metastatic Breast Cancer and I really need to wrap my right arm. Thanks!!

There are a few links to them in the description box below the video 🙂

Yes this is my issue too 🙏🏽🩵

I hope you have a good day, know that JESUS died for you and loves you so very much!

[@glendaanderson4969]

I'm just learning basics of lymphatic drainage. My lmt who does it says it helps the brest tissue. Find a good lmt who does lymphatic drainage, get a session, and repeat on yourself whatever they do on you. It's just gentle stretching of the skin in the direction of lymph flow. There are serious contraindications so look those up to be aware of them.

[@christaverduren690]

I have primary lymphedema (hereditary) over my entire body. I'm trying to figure out if I could wear that around my neck (like a turtle neck) for the lymph node swelling there.... My son joked I could just look like a mummy to cover all the "bad spots".

[@CancerRehabPT]

There are specific head and neck compression garments on the market

[@christaverduren690]

@@CancerRehabPT thank you!

[@clavo3352]

Okay, please. I really like your information and i value it too. At about the 7 minute mark you use the term "versus " correctly but your speech got a bit rushed and several words ran together. If you can, please separate your words and sentences more distinctly. A little verbal animation would also help, but that's asking a bunch.

[@cynthialesser2986]

Can I use this under my arm pit and then use my bra?

[@CancerRehabPT]

If someone is cleared by their doctor- these pads can be used in the chest wall 🙂

[@naoedouard4422]

JESUS loves you! Come to Him to experience indescribable peace, and the infinite love He has for you! He can heal all illnesses and disorders, and with Him you can overcome any and every crisis the world may put in your way. Repent of your sins and start a relationship with Him today. Call out His name and He will answer you!
