Is anyone having an issue with edema? I had significant problems with pockets of fluid on my muscles that will not go away. The only thing that is assisting with its is my tens unit and my massage therapy. Unfortunately, It does not make it go away. It only lessons the effect.
I feel like my arms are swollen to the point where I am like the little kid overpacked into a snow suit who cannot put their arms down.
I am on hydrochlorothiazide for edema, but it doesn't seem to resolve the problem. I am doing a lot of arm exercises and stretches and run my Tens machine on any specific spots on and off throughout the day.
I think this is preventing proper circulation to my arms and wrists.has anyone run into this? Does anyone have any suggestions? I have done a lot of research online and the only thing mentioned is the lymphedema, which I do not need all the markers for. I have brought it up to every doctor I have and none of them have reacted Or made any suggestions.
