Neuropathy

[Bishop1]

Double bypass in December 2020Would you get Neuropathy in my shinbone where I had vein harvested from.

This has started a few nights ago

Doesn't keep me awake as I take a Phenergan Tablet and get a decent 6 hours sleep

Good night and thanks

I still have aches from the harvest site and I find a good self massage down the leg { daily } really helps.

I just get a handful of E45 and hard rub from my thighs to my ankle downwards { as the heart nurse showed me } just out of the shower, if needed I repeat before bedtime.

Take care

Thank you Blue1958I massage my legs every night as I have Lymphodemia

In my right calf and have to wear compression tights.

How are you keeping

I am as well as I can be at the moment, thank you for asking and I wish the same for you.

Interesting that you have Lymphodemia in the right calf, wonder if you have a little water retention { not uncommon } in your left? this can cause pressure on the harvest site, Might be worth getting it checked out on your next Drs appointment.

Dies it leave a white mark when you press it? etc

Its always the basics I forget { because they are boring } like pumping the feet, " good toes naughty toes" and raising the leg while watching TV or even in bed.

When I go back to the basics it seem to help { in my case }

Take care xx
