I had Cellulaze surgery 3 weeks ago. I saw my PS yesterday and expressed my concern regarding how hard, lumpy, numb, and hot the front and back of my legs feel. He said this is induration, swelling, and inflammation, and there is nothing I can do to help it subside. I asked about lymphatic massage, arnica, exercise, wearing the compression garment, etc., and he said none of these things have been proven to help. I'm uncomfortable doing nothing, isn't there something I can do to alleviate these symptoms?
