In October 2014, Cynthia Shechter, owner and Director of Rehabilitation at ShechterCare, presented this Livestreamed Symposium. Cynthia's practical information about manual lymph drainage daily life with lymphedema was popular with viewers. We are happy to now be able to present this edited video. Please share widely.
How would I find someone to possibly answer my questions? On East Coastal Florida? Or by email? I do not know how I got this. I have it in my breasts which started six or so years ago. Just that. No one knew how I went from a DDD to a J!!! And then I noticed on each thigh about the knee what looked like a four inch indentation on each leg just above the knees. I thought it was because I had a habit of sitting on the couch and putting my elbows on each leg. Anyway this stayed for yrs. Nothing else happened. Then one yr ago my back went out. I could barely move, I would cry and howl even to go to the bathroom. Brushing teeth was agoning as I could not bend on the slightest. I got epidurals, did not work. And during this yr of being home bound and laying around in agony about five months into the yr my belly doubled, and my legs started to look Ughhhh and swell. I also have 4 or five large things of fat. Like lipomas. 😭 The one on my leg has been there for 20 yrs as a small lump under the skin and below the knee. Well it grew and is HUGE and can be painful if I move my leg wrong. It started to grow about 5 or 6 yrs ago. Now it is so large. I have had bladder polyps that are cancer since 2000. They were removed many times. I have been ok for a few yrs. I was diagnosed with Hep C 2 yrs ago. Liver , gallbladder, pancreas fine. I do have a little fatty liver. I 70. 😭 Hep C I believe I got at my doctors from a contaminated area yrs ago. Needle was next to a bloody counter and I told the nurse and she said it's ok. Well it was not now I realize. So I need an expert I would pay just to answer how lymphedema started? Or is it lipedema? This video was very helpful.
