venous and Lymphatic disorders and using a sequential circulator (pump)

Post by RLSandra »

Does anyone have venous insuffuciency and lymphedema and have to wear compression stockings everyday? And... have to use a pump at least once a day to help control the swelling of the lymphedema? If so,does it put so much pressure on your legs that it causes the RLS to begin it's torture? Do you have helpful hints to deal with this problem?I am wiling to try anything!!!

Oh, my. I can imagine how horrible this would be. I have no knowledge to help you - but you have my complete empathy!
