Update: the usual therapy and the new therapy (lymphatic enhancement technology) For the last two weeks I have been going to physical therapy, but since I can not put any pressure on my leg there is minimal the PT I can do. We are limited to just stretching, which they teach me and I do at home. My leg as responded well. My first trip I had 5* degree movement in my knee, last week we got it to 35*!!!! We do not want to waste PT sessions on stretching because the most important sessions will be teaching me how to walk. Soooo.... B and I have a friend who is a licensed message therapist (LMT) and a CLT, forgot what that was). She is also certified in LET (lymphatic enhancement technology) (LYMPHATIC ENHANCEMENT THERAPY (LET) A gentle and unique therapeutic device, derived from the world of aesthetics, combines the use of light, sound, and micro-current to subtly vibrate internal body tissues to release toxins and excess fluids. With varying acoustic wave frequencies, this fluid enters dilated lymphatic vessels to become cleaned up by the lymphatic system creating a greater sense of well being and vitality. and she owns her own LET machine. Well last night I was fortunate enough that she was available to come to our house and give me a complete session. My whole leg, (thigh, knee ankle...) all are still swollen and retaining fluids. If you ran your hand down my thigh you could feel lumps and swelling. She started off by measuring me leg parts and when the session was over I had lost centimeters in swelling from every where. This morning I have lost even more!! This is the crazy part! After about 45 minutes of rubbing my leg with the wands (see video) she started a physical message of my leg and I had very little pain!! Before the treatment my muscles hurt but not now! As she messaged my leg I was sitting there with my hands clasped together waiting to feel pain and jump out of bed, but it never happened! Literally 1 hour before if she was to rub my leg like this I would of hit the ceiling. She kept telling me to relax but I couldnt, this message should be killing me. I really cant wait for my next session. This LET therapy is very popular in breast cancer recovery. So please if you know anyone how is in post-op, chemotherapy, or dealing with pain please have them ask their Dr about this!!!
