My neuro said it's lymph edema from immobility....Ouch! I use a powerchair all the time and can still stand for a couple minutes hanging on for dear life, but am unable to take a step.
My feet, ankles and lower legs swell horribly. They are painful, very heavy and usually either hot or cold to the touch. Between the swelling and neuropathy, I can only stand to wear slippers or some clogs. Does anyone else have this problem and if so, do you have any solution? My doctor said he'd have to "hang me upside down" to get the lymph to circulate back up my legs. I didn't take him up on that idea! lol!
Thanks for any suggestions you may have.......
