used compression bandage and elevate the affected leg , avoid prolonged standing
Use compression garments , take it out before bed and while taking a bathing.
Can do the icing method for max 30 minutes per day, break it into 15 - 15 minutes in a day ( 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes before bed) to reduce swelling.
depends on the severity, preventive measures should be considered, she'll improve, leg elevated, light soft tissue down to up, and rest
first diagnosis for cause
or share your medical history
above knee or below the knee swollen
Use compression garments and do manual lymphatic drainage highly effective you can book your online consultation for further details
Asalam o Alaikum
Dear care giver of patient, it is important to note the reason for lymphedema. If the primary cause or problem has been treated and lymphedema is left then it can be managed.
Please consider the following:
1. Take her to a physician doctor if any primary issue is there such as any infection, trauma or injury etc.
2. Use/wear the compression stockings/bandages
3. Elevate the leg above the level of the body when lying down.
4. Avoid standing for more than 30-45 mins at a time.
5. Avoid sitting with legs hanging or feet unsupported for more than 30-45 mins at a time.
6. Go to physiotherapist for lymphatic drainage treatment.
7. Rest
May Allah bless with healing and recovery Ameen.
8. Learn the lymphatic drainage technique from physiotherapist.
9. Avoid salt in your diet.
10. Take a healthy balanced diet.
11. Keep the skin in check for wounds or any changes.
Lastly please know that it's a manageable condition, and she will improve with Allah's Grace.
