Lymphadema

[msnana]

Anyone here have lymphadema due to MS?

My friend has lymphadema but not MS. Have you been told it could be due to MS?

My Nurse Practitioner granddaughter says it is due to immobility of the right limb. I have spms and hard to walk. I have Dr appt next Tuesday. My right side was paralyzed when I was dx 26 years ago. How is your friend doing with it.

My friend is doing fine. It has been many years now. At first he was self conscious about the size of one leg but I think he got used to it.

I was dx'd 20 years ago with PPMS. I continued progression with my right side involvement. I have had lymphedema for many years on the right side, and recently developed some on the left due to large amounts of IV fluids. I need to use leg wraps to compress them during the day, and a lymphedema machine at night. I can no longer walk or bear weight to transfer.

I went off all salt, use Morton's lite salt and that helps a lot
