Thank you, Kelly. Your videos are packed with so much helpful information. I never knew that I could perform lymphatic drainage - I thought I would have to see a specialist. Thanks to you, I have started to learn how to help my body get rid of lymphedema. I had a double mastectomy which has left me feeling unattractive and worsened pre-existing lymphema issues I had before my cancer surgeries. Your dry-brushing video and manual lymphatic drainage helped so much. I have improved my heath and post-surgery body acceptance issues thanks to your generosity in sharing this information.

@InspireMe150 Год назад

I really appreciate your videos. I've saved a bunch of them to show my oncologist. I've had swelling in my legs all along but now the right leg is really bad with the swelling going into my knee. It's debilitating because I can't really walk. I see my oncologist every week and it's just not getting better. I've actually gained 26 pounds in the last few weeks because of the fluid. I've gotten more insight and help from watching your videos than anything. I had a lumbar puncture that caused nerve pain in my back and now this swelling problem makes it worse. I really need this to get better so I can even do basic activities.

The exercise that truly helps my edema is a rebounder! I discovered this only a few months ago. I'm able to manage my swelling ankles, feet and tight legs with bouncing up and down without pressure on joints. I don't wear my compression socks and it works out quite well without. This is by far one of the best lymphatic drainage methods I've come across. My bungee mini-trampoline is 40 inch in diameter and of extremely good quality, one you'd see in a gym. I had a cheap spring version but it squeaked and the springs broke in under three months whilst the mat was not as giving as my current rebounder! Finally, the health benefits are enormous !

@ladysusan8134 2 года назад

I am so sorry to hear of your troubles. Is it possible for you to go a doctor to get help with your lymphedema. The yellow fluid that is leaking from your legs sounds like it’s the lymph leaking out through the pores of your skin. I have had lymphoedema for 17 years due to cancer surgery. It takes a great deal of work looking after lymphoedema and it’s really hard getting on top of it. It would be really good if you could find a lymphoedema clinic at your local hospital that may be able to support and advise you on how to help you with your lymphoedema.🇦🇺🐨🦘

Where I am, now, there's no place TO walk!! And I no longer have any room to bring my drums up here or I'd be bashing them nearly every day! EVERYTHING is working against me!! I put my feet up for at least 20:00 a couple times a day and I've been doing stuff that Austin Goh says should work but it's only getting worse! I haven't had water pills for who KNOWS how long because my Dr. won't let me have them anymore!! I've cut WAY down on salt. But, my feet almost feel numb!!

@1timbarrett Год назад

Are you sure that limiting salt is a good idea? 🤔

@RedVynil Год назад

@@1timbarrett According to the various doctors I've heard from, cutting down on salt is supposed to be a good thing as far as getting rid of edema! I hardly ever eat salty stuff, anymore and, if I do put salt on something, it's pink salt. And I doubt I even use that more than once a week.

I finally got the water pills back after several months, now, she's also got me on metropolol and Xarelto! First, they said I was only gonna need it for 3 months, then they said, the rest of my life!! I just found my aunts TINS(?) set and will give that a try to help but, it looks like I have to go buy batteries for it!! The rechargables that came with it no longer charge.
