Hi friends!<\/p>\n

I’ve recently been experiencing some significant swelling in my left leg, which has had lymphedema in it since my first pregnancy and delivery, in addition to having lipedema.\u00a0 So, I decided to get back in with my Occupational Therapist to discuss strategies, and I visited with some lipedema doctor friends as well.\u00a0 The plan I came up with is to continue wearing compression, add in the daily use of a vibration plate<\/a><\/strong> for 15 minutes while seated only (due to my need for knee replacements), and begin taking a daily dose of Guaifenesin<\/a><\/strong>, the active ingredient in Mucinex, to try and move some lymph fluid up and out.<\/p>\n
