Well, I have noticed that wearing any kind of compression garment makes me swell massively so I have quit using them. I still have some pain, which I am not sure is normal at this stage.
I decided yesterday to just live with pain and get going and do things. Small swelling still occurs, but it is also very hot and humid in FL.
Kimmer, I am trying and hoping these are not the final results. :-)
I went to a medical message therapist that cleaned out my lymphatic system and did some healing message. The swelling reduced by I would say 85% by the next day. It hasn't been nearly as bad and I feel a lot less depressed. I had no idea I would swell like that.
He did give me some advice so please let me know your thoughts. He said to talk to my doc first, but he would recommend not wearing the compression garment for awhile. I left it off that day and the next day the swelling was minimal. The doc said put it back on and I instantly started swelling up again, so which is better? I see the doc tomorrow and will talk with him about it as well.
