[@margaretyan9502]

Yes Nathan please do one for the right arm. Thanks.

Have you seen the research from ICG mapping of lymphatics in secondary lymphoedema. It showed no one with secondary arm lymphodema post breast cancer drianed down the torso , and 70 % of the people in the study drained to the same axilla- the same side the lymph nodes were removed.They also did leg analysis. This shows we always need to personalise our self massage if we know we have lymphatic interuptions.( i stopped massaging across midline and down torso for myself when ALERT unit first started publishing and presenting papers and webinars a couple of years ago when they started developing ICG mapping techniques) ALERT =Australian Lymphoedema Education Resrach and Treatment, Macquarie University Sydney.For anyone interested , you can see a list of published papers on lympheodema stuff if you search for Louise Koelmyer & her ALERT page .

Appreciate the video I looked this up post broke elbow. It turns out I was doing this more or less already. But it's good to see any different techniques and angles you do as I try to reduce swelling ice and this.

[@ninopink1598]

Is there a surgery that can fix it?

[@margaretyan9502]

Hi Nathan, have you made a video for the right arm yet? Thanks.

[@margaretyan9502]

Does wearing compressor garments help?

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Definitely

[@margaretyan9502]

Thanks for your reply. Your exercises are simple. How long should I wear the compressor glove for? It leaves a mark on my arm for a short while. Does this mean it's too tight? The skin gets a bit itchy too. Is this normal? What brand would you recommend? Thanks.

[@zouzou6424]

excellent

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Hope your arm gets better

[@brendasibley8075]

Yes right now

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

❤️❤️❤️

[@MK-mt5rk]

Thank you for your video. My palm and fingers are swollen and so painful. Can I take some painkiller and do this massage

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

If it is very pinful, ease on thenpressure and ask your doctor if it is okay to take pain meds just to be sure there are no complications with your other meds

[@marilenabodea5949]

have lymphedema of the left hand after a bilateral mastectomy of the breasts and lymph nodes? The left arm is swollen all the time, how to do the lymphatic drainage?.

[@lindahosford3370]

Trying to get swollen lymph nodes along left arm, down from dog attack a month ago! So far, so good!

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Happy to hear that it worked for you

[@SavitriSirpaul]

Very instread

[@AnnaLizaCaday-pd9oy]

How often a day do I need to undergo arm swelling massage? Thanks

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

If you can 3x a day

[@sadiegirl3011]

I haven't been diagnosed yet as my symptoms are confusing therefore im being refered to specialist..anyways would you happen to know if lymphodema can cause extreme constant pain in all lymph nodes from chin down to ankles without the lymph nodes showing any swelling on a scan? Please & thank you!

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Pain yes. It can be painful. Because it might be over working or overwhelmed

[@jacquelinecullen5873]

If both arms are swollen what is the sequence of massage. Thanks

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

The direction will be towards the trunk and groin area

[@jacquelinecullen5873]

I have swelling in both arms and legs. Please if you could do a quick video on all limbs as I don't want to do this incorrectly as it might cause problems in another limb...thanks so much

[@b.a8305]

Hiw many times we shoud doing this massage ? I have lymphodema stage1

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Start with 3x a day

[@shirleysamai733]

I just had my mascetomy a week ago and the moment i still feel sore on my chest.So,when is the earliest I can do the massage to reduce the fluid retention on my armpit and chest? Is it okay if i use massage oil when i do the massage? Can I massage my armpit if it is still painful and my drainage tube is not taken out yet? I am really sorry for asking too many questions...

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Its okay. Wait for your doctor to clear you. Let the wounds heal and when you start this, gentle massage is advisable

[@gracydsouza2853]

Good morning, I just had my surgery in May, and had a drainage system till 10th of July. Now i do my exercises but I still have some liquid coming below my armpit . I cannot do swiping of the chest because I have a port site there. Which exercises do I have to do, can you please guide me. Thanks a lot for your exercises they really help me.

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Push it to the other side and dow to the same side groin area. 🤙🏽

[@gracydsouza2853]

​@@SKILLSANDWELLNESSI can't push to the other side because the port site is there and it hurts. I am a 73 year old woman who did surgery in May and drainage was removed 10th of July.

Hi Nathan. Thanks again for sharing this video. I have a request. Due to Parkinsons my left foot is curling in. It’s very painful to walk. I do your exercises for Parkinsons but this is not healing. Please help. Thanks. Stay blessed.

[@GoProGoalieUzi]

AssalamuAlykum Nasreen! My name is Usmahn, I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s in 2018 at the age of 40. I don’t have the issue of the toe curling, however my right toe moves a lot which causes aching.

[@nasreenmalik997]

@@GoProGoalieUzi Walaikum Assalam Usmahn. I hope you get better. May Allah make it easy for us. Read the first 4 ayahs of Surah Rahman when that happens. It helps when I do this. SubhanAllah.

I currently take 15-17 sinimet per day. Then sleeping pills and cr sinimet. My main problem is stiffness, rigidity, slowness and anxiety..

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Try using those things they use to spread the toes apart when getting the toes painted on. And massage the sole part to relax the fascia there

[@corazonnapoles1883]

Sir is the swelling dangerous?

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

swelling is a symptom. what's causing it is what needs to be known.

[@margaretyan9502]

Nathan do you have to do deep breathing while exercising?

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

It will help better. Double result
