Dr. Yoho emphasizing that I need to exercise my lymphatic leg more, that I need to elevate it more, and that I really need to wear compression stocking as much as possible.
I’ve been neglecting and tolerating my swollen leg, especially with the high heat of mid-summer and the pain of taking long walks.
I ought to get more compression stockings, clean my leg and check for any cuts or changes, wear compression stockings and exercise it every day, and wash the compression stockings (wear clean stocking) each day.
I hope you take her advice and take care. I have a bad knee and bad shoulder (severe arthritis). It affects practically everything; the way I can sleep, walk, exercise, sit, drive, etc. Pain in the arse. Everyday I have to stretch and take meds and creams, tape, etc. When I do as instructed, I have less pain. This will be it for the remainder of me. I’m trying to get used to it.
