caligirl07
I'm 2 weeks post op,I've had 4 lymphatic massages so far and really feel no change and the cost is quite expensive.Is it a requirement/necessity to get these massages for my numb and swollen stomach/lower back to subside? Massage therapist said Yes or else I'll have a hard numb stomach forever!! So scared I need answers :(
