Breakout Session: Creative Compression Strategies

[@greatpix]

I also had sensitive legs and many times couldn't wear regular compression, I switched to the Circaid Juxta, products and then switched to layers of Tubigrip. The latter I can wear for days.
The biggest improvement I've had in lowering the edema in my legs was getting a barometric hospital bed that had the Trendelenburg function. Setting the bed so that my ankles are above my knees, knees above my hips and head raised up but keeping my heart below the level of my knees. I first discovered this in the hospital where overnight my left calf (at its widest point) went from 28" circumference down to 23". This is a great start to them wearing compression.

Thank you for allowing us to hear your breakout session. I wish there was someone in the Kansas area that has as much compassion as you all have demonstrated. My cousin has lost 95% mobility due to the hardening in his calves from what I assume is lymphedema, which seems to be hereditary. Due to a lack of cash flow and medical coverage he never told anyone and is now on disability.

I used the pumps on my legs. I began to have more pain and tiny red spots all over my feet and lower legs and my veins got worse
