Numbness & Other Questions

Has this happened to any of you?

Twice I have injured my legs (both have lymphoedema) once falling on my knee and then, ironically, while using a new compression pump that was on too tight on my ankle.

After a year and one half my knee is no longer numb. My ankle remains numb after six months.

A request. A few things are referred to only by initials and I don't know what they are. Like medicine, programs and therapies. I want to request that people use the full name at least once in their post.

Thanks for sharing your experiences!

Hi sorry hear about your difficulties. Just would like to know in which country you are please, as it does make a difference if I am responding to someone outside of the UK. Thank you and take care.

Hi again, I do hope you get things sorted soon, but as I say things are different here in the UK and it would not be right or fair for me to make suggestions and/or comments. Good Luck and do take care. x🌺
