This morning I went back to lymphatic drainage therapy. A few months ago there was a thick lump on the inside just below my left knee. Right also slightly, but on the right I have lymphoid edema, so I didn't think that was so weird.

I also went to the GP who suggested to increase the lymphatic drainage therapy from once every 6 weeks to every week and to look at it. However, I had a pulling and burnt pain and because I had been walking with it for a while now it was decided to echo to create. There was only a swelling to be seen, but nothing else crazy. For the pain I was allowed in the evening in connection with our midweek vacation naproxen for taking.

The pain remained for a few days, but last week it went very well, but unfortunately since last night the burning, pulling pain has returned again. Where the lymphatic drainage had felt very nice in the past few weeks it now hurt and my physiotherapist had also noticed that it now feels different as before.

We agreed to take a look at it. Next week we will measure both legs in several places and decide what we do, also because I really need new compression stockings. Will be continued...
