You are very informative in explaining the different types of swelling! 🌸
Straight to the point! Thank you!
Great info! Thanks so much for making this video!
I recently ran into your channel and wanted to thank you for all your informative videos. I am a two-time ovarian cancer survivor. As a result of the lymph node and Omentum removal I now have genital and upper abdominal swelling. It's really taken a toll on my confidence. Can't seem to find any videos on how to help with my kind of swelling. Can you please post a video that shows the proper process?
Outstanding video!
Thank you soooooo much for providing these videos. It is so hard to find information on treating Lymphema help.
Thank you Dr. Kelly for such of your wonderful advice and suggestion❤❤❤

@@maetune5770 normally I mix cellery with cucumber, ginger and green apple. Its so refreshing, and really does a boost in my limph. Also clears acne 😉
💯 percent flaria treatment
Hi Kelly, I think a video on compression stockings would be really helpful. I'm in the UK but it would still be valuable. I've started doing your exercises. (left leg) 👍😊
I recommend you to Dr Okolo herbal medicine formula which can improve your lymphoma
Yes Kelly, please do videos on compression stockings and others and how to actually put them on. Especially if you have odd size legs and thighs.
What can you do if huge sacks now hang out from or down the leg or thigh?
Weighted blankets are amazing!!!
yes it would be helpful to have a fitting video
Another very good video !! Thank you !!👍👍💜🥁🐉🎤🎶💞
thank you!
Thank you so much for your information. I've been suffering tremendously to the point of being unable to walk without pain or even pick up my own legs to get up stairs or recline in a chair. If I am up on my feet too long, I have a toe or two on each foot that will hurt me so bad that I can't hardly move it. I have a heart condition - and shouldn't take diuretics. I have been battling a serious stomach issue for over two years now. Have been on a PICC line and then also a GI tube until it fell out a second time at the end of last July and I said no more. It had been causing me pain and I wasn't able to take in nutrition anyways. Five stents were placed in my stomach over an 18 month period. The swelling in my feet and ankles is fairly new... I'd say about 3-4 months now. First starting in my feet and then traveling up my leg to knee cap and now from knee cap to thigh. My protein level is extremely low, Albumin is low too..as well as my vitamins A and D. My BNP high but Dr.'s think this is due to my low protein. I've really tried to improve these levels through diet. I am new to your channel here.. do you have any thing specific in regards to herbal teas, or herbs, food, etc. that could help me and preferably quick? I am absolutely miserable! Thank you.
Hello greetings I’m from Uganda can we be friends
Kelly can you give me a link for the Short Stretch Wrap you recommend? Thank you for all of your informative videos!
Thank you
Thanks so much I got high blood pressure ND angles swell. Alot thanks
Thanks for this video my wife is having problems with her legs and I'm worried about her so I'm definitely going to give your tips a go there is a history of deep vain thrombosis in her family so you can see why I'm so worried ✌️
Thanks 🙏
Hi, thank you for this helpful video. I am not finding a link to find a certified therapist in my area. Thanks.
Thanks
Yes please on more information on compression garments and bandages, etc.
Yes
No wonder why I'm in pain with the stockings. Thank you

they say it was incurable and that it could only be managed. He would try his best. And I am grateful so much for trying your best sir.
My ankles swelled for the first time I’m 73 the first thing I need to look at is food you are what you eat I started consuming a lot of carbs these past two weeks I don’t eat many carbs and I know my swollen ankles are the result of high sugar consumption no more carbs for me I’m going to eat a ketogenic diet it’s more a way of life and then on to carnivore way of eating no more swollen ankles healing the body begins with what we eat and drink I wish everyone healing from your condition god bless you all
Thank you for your advise. I am grateful. I live in the U.K. near London. I need to lose weight about 80 pounds or more. Exercise more. I get nerve tingling in my legs and feet. At night I elevate my feet on 3 stuff cushions.
Thankyou
Thank help for my husband how learn swollen he was little better .
Thank you very much, I watched several videos before this that were mental. I'm about to write down to add and further research Charles Atlas dynamic tension exercises throughout my day and maybe just kind of make my own things up to keep moving. Then whatever else this video has. I've at times had luck with burdock root, and apple cider vinegar. My hope is to figure out a little system I can run to when this happens, or repair the lymphatic system with herbs and diet. Its scary having a little daughter now, I'm like oh my god I can't die, I have to revitalize myself
Kelly ,I think your great .My question is ..my right leg swells everyday at work .I’m standing all day and walk over ten thousand steps .At night I wear compression hose and that helps .What can I do in daytime?
Is there any way for oldages to reduce severe swelling
The compression stockings made my thumb toenails fall off.
I also have lymphedema in both legs. Have done all labs and now waiting but really worried.
Where is the link for self daily massage of leg please ?
I have congestive heart failure and exercise for me is very difficult; what else can I do? Second question is where does the fluid go when you do upwards massage or you wrap your legs to reduce the swelling?
My therapist measured me for custom flat knit class 3 Medi. Each garment creates a tourniquet below my knee cap. How can I measure myself?
From the first day I saw how things were with my family I made up my mind to be different. I was told that Edema was hereditary. But I choose to be exceptional by finding out possible cures for the symptoms I was already experiencing on my skin. But it wa
Can you please help it always feel that I have water in my gut and my stomach swells
I love you :)
Were can I get the exact bandage
My brother has lymphedema and we're having a lot of trouble controlling it and his legs are super swollen and weeping he's overweight so it's very hard for him to exercise or to keep his legs up higher than apart and maybe some compression videos would be helpful we do use the bandages to wrap up his leg but it's kind of hard to function in life with your legs wrapped up so it's kind of a no-win situation it seemed.
What about itching. It's horrible.
grab an old stretchy shirt, 4 to 6 inches from the bottom cut around like you were making a cut off shirt, you should have a ring. repeat. cut it once so that you have one length you can roll up. then either get some of that thin medical grade liner that wraps between the skin and your stretchy shirt, kind of like cheese cloth (never tried using cheese cloth) or skip this part but, depending on your preference and whether or not there is scabbing/irritation from rubbing in the slightest, and wounds or bleeding, but in a pinch sanitize the area real good and sanitize your old shirt real good. poor man's roll and by no means a better solution than the products in this video but probably better than nothing. Works for me
Can I order from you All the materials to use to wrap
Where can I get this compression stockings I’m in Toronto Canada

Açtico 8cm for foot, 10cm calf tight 12 cm

I took a bath last week Sunday and I hit my left foot on the bathtub faucet. I'm feeling the swelling but I'm doing my best to like make it all better. I just got some questions. Shall I keep wearing my foot wrap? I've been using it that I even take it off? Shall I massage my left foot slowly or firmly?
My right leg around the knee has more fat than the left one 😞
Hi Kelly, my wife has had swelling in her legs and ankles for years. One Dr. Said it was venous insuffiency and another one said lymphedema. She had a orif in right ankle and a right and left knee replacement. We live in middle GA. Do you know a lymphedema specialist in our area? Jimmy Underwood
have you contacted Dr Iyhere on RUclips
I was hoping that I would hear something from you because I have both legs that were swollen and the skin would get so tight it would Crack and I'm doing what I can to stop the leakage because I don't want to be stuck in the hospital and so I need you answer on what to do please help thank you
I’m not seeing the link for finding a lymphodemyologist in my area?
please I have swollen for ten the compression stockings is not working
I've tried several compression stockings/socks. They're either too tight or too hot. I basically have a lot of fat or fluid from my thighs to my feet. If on my feet or walking too much, they're swollen. Also tiny bood clots on my left leg and a line around where my trouser socks were too tight. Which product do you suggest I use?
Some compression stockings are so uncomfortable to wear. I buy then cant wear
Mine was caused by aleeve pain meds over the counter I stopped it now it's gone
Hello my name is Gene Trapp and I've been having issues with my swollen legs the swelling did go down but I have leakage all around both legs and I don't know if I'm doing everything right and my family thinks I need to be put in the hospital which I disagree I need to know more on what to do and so please help me out and let me know something
what does it mean when only ONE of your legs swell? Only my left leg from the ankle down swell, so more my foot than leg.
I recommend you to Dr Okolo herbal medicine which can cure you completely from this disease
I have your same situation, but with both feet. I had a particularly difficult breast cancer called inflammatory breast cancer. As a result my oncologist gave me very strong chemo. I have been running in circles trying to get help :(
However, if you have had chemo, I believe it is random where the chemo most strongly hit, same for genetics. I am quite thin, so no obesity issues resulting in this-
Kelly, your videos are truly worth there weight in gold!
I live in San Diego, CA- if anyone knows of a certified lymphadema therapist please let me know! I saw a vascular doctor & she knew zip, with the exception of putting me back on a blood thinner-
My mother had a double bilateral mastectomy with 11 lymph nodes removed around both armpit areas. She has some swelling under the armpits but none in the arms or fingers. The swelling which I truly believe is lymphedema due to the removal of 11 lymph nodes is mainly in her ankles and feet. Her surgeon who is very short and has no bedside manners claims it had nothing to do with her surgery her oncologist today said it was from the fluid she received in the hospital which she spent less than 48 hours in got no more than 1-2 bags of and that was practically 15 days ago. I have done a lot of research in John Hopkins talks about breast cancer surgery and lymphedema in the legs basically covering the thigh down to the toes. But healthcare professionals and her friend who has been a nurse over 30 years claims it is not lymphedema. I'm 99% sure it is.
@@JS-ed2hg I AM SO SORRY ABOUT YOUR MAMA. I SINCERELY HOPE SHE GETS BETTER. I twisted this ankle when I was in my 20's and it's swollen ever since. I've noticed lately though since I have stopped drinking coffee and drastically limit my sugar intake and how much I smoke per day, my leg hasn't swelled in 5 days now. I'm a stress smoker and a pck usually lasts me for two weeks but I only smoke now before bed lol, 1 ciggy a day. Eventually I will stop. Sending healing vibes to your mama, OH AND I DRINK LEMON WATER NOW..JUST FRESH LEMON JUICE IN HOT OR COLD WATER, it's amazing. Look at Dr Eric Berg on youtube.
@@katherinechase3674 p😅
Why does nobody ever speak about diet. This happens to me mostly when i have to much sugar or processed food. If it i taper off that the swelling typically goes away
Exactly, my mom cut off processed foods and added sugars and she got so much better. Diet is very very essential

I just started at my local hospital with a Lymphedema specialist. She wrapped my leg and I go back in a week. Do you have any before and after videos to show how much fluid and swelling will come off legs after treatment. Thanks
I'm surprised you don't mention medications!?
Georgia/Florida line area clinic please
NO B/C I DON'T HAVE ANY PROVIDER LIKE THAT IN MY AREA THAT MY INSURANCE PARTICIPATES WITH & MY DR JUST IGNORES IT!!!
COULD Gabapentin cause swelling or if no where? I what's on this medicine for at least six years prior to this and then all of a sudden now she's saying that's why my legs are swelling because of the gabapentin and that doesn't make any sense in the world to me that after six years all of a sudden boom on when all of a sudden have leg swelling from that???? Please advise please advise help me
Hi Kelly, I have MS, am in a wheelchair and things are difficult. No exercise for me. Any suggestions? J
Diet also plays a huge role. Minimise your carb intake, increase whole foods and drink enough water.

I've had lymphedema since i was 10, i wasn't obese or have high blood pressure, literally nothing else was wrong with my health but lymphedema was so incessant that even after massage, exercise, lymph drainage, wearing compression socks it just got worse and worse and now at 22 i still struggle with it. I've been looking into stress reduction now, but it seems to have no effect on me somebody help
So sorry, my left leg was very big, for more than 23 years. This year I got one lymphatic Therapist. She helped. Now my leg is about to its normal size. I wish to share with you her numbers and my pics.
Have you seen a cardiologist?
For me personally all the women in my family have puffy ankles but we can manage it by eating low carb high protein not saying that will work for you but in my experience thats the only long term thing that has worked.
