Has anyone found relief from lymphedema,or elephantiasis? |
I was born with this awful disease and being a female it is embarrasing and painful in more ways than one. I have not led a normal life and would appreciate to hear from anyone that knows of relief or cure from this painful situation. Greetings! you're born with it, so you have primary lymphedema which is also known as Milroy's or Congenital lymphedema. The standard treatment is MLD, Manual Lymph Drainage, which is also called CDT, complete/complex drainage therapy. It's a medical massage of sorts. You would have the therapy performed by a certified lymphedema therapist. She or he would teach you special skin care, perhaps skin brushing, how to do self massage, exercises to promote lymph flow, and when you were as small as he/she can get you, you graduate to compression stockings which help you keep the smallest. * Manual Lymphatic Drainage |
