Your company is outstanding, sir!
Love this company!
kudos for making this video about the machine. I have had one for about 3 yrs now but not from your specific company and its one of the only means of relief i get daily in combination is pian medication to treat the chronic pain cause by the Tarda Lymphodema(rare type not well known roughly only 2% world populas suffers from it and mostly females)
I live in Israel and have this machine. I keep it on both my legs for almost an hour at a time. When I take the pumps off my legs look like they used to before lymphedema came into my life over 2.5 years ago. I then bandage my legs and move on. However around 3 to 4 hours after that the legs go back to what they usually are so in effect it really doesn’t help. Just makes it more frustrating.
What is your opinion on lymphedema by pass surgery?
Hi, I have a question that I hope you can help with. Would ‘Normatec 3 Legs’ air compression be good for lymphedema (I’ve had for many years due to venous statis and neuropathy). Hopefully you have heard of them before and can say if you think they are good. Thank you so much!
Sir. Why A,merican companies prices are 10 or 20 times more that machines made in another countries??
Where do I find more information. Cost .ability to purchase in Australia?
Wow
Are your products available in Europe? How much are they? Thanks for answering me!
Does Medicaid pay for compression pumps
@@deborahsiniard3882 - The Lymphedema Clinic at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, NYC, is sending me a pump. Supposedly, Medicare, with my added insurance, is covering it. The company representative is coming Wednesday morning to fit me and teach me how to use it. (I don't know what company it is, though.) Fingers crossed that it's a great treatment.
Does m how do you spell Medicaid
Is there a number to call you
I was treated with wraps then being maintsined with compression garments and a night time boot.
Will your system eliminate the need for ridiculously expensive garments that have a 3 month life span?
+Thomas Bonfiglio I have a compression machine. not from this company BUT its the same thing and I suffer from Tarda lymphodema in both legs which has spread into my groin area,. I am stage two and My Machine is a small godsend to me as being on it for 1 hr twice a day reduces the swelling in both legs moves the lymphatic fluids around and reduces the swelling til my legs are "normal" sized. Used in conjunction with my compression stockings I can go almost ALL day with minimal swelling as long as I don't sit for long periods of time. PLus Many Insurance companies DO support and cover these machines.
I guess that I am fortunate in a way that it has only hit the lower portion of my left leg and was well pronounced at the ankle. There are signs of it on the right side but didn't require treatment. Right garment is more of a balancer.
It went undiagnosed for more than 8 years after a friend of the family who was a premed student identified it as being an edema.
It was interesting that I noticed a significant change after having a surgery 9 years ago and while recovering they had placed cuffs on both ankles that provided perasoltc a action to prevent blood clots.
At the time I was finally diagnosed and going through the wrap stage I did mention the use of the cuffs and asked if insurance would cover the equipment.
She told me that these pumps have been found to cause harm and is not a supporter.
I believe they are worth their salt in keeping fluid build up in check.
Happy to say that wearing the garment is a small price to pay to have my ankle back to its normal size..
It's really how you look at the pro's vs cons. I was sadly diagnosed about the same as yourself (10yrs) after the disease had to tight a hold over my veins and unfortunately there was no other recourse for me then multiple Vnus closure surgeries which barely made much differance in the swelling OR the pain i was suffering with daily. I am grateful for the machine to help manage what it can. I still have no life anymore, confined home now because either the diease took my mobility Or the pain medication does. the catch 22 i lost my freedom, my life as a working part of society. I can have that back at the sake of living in pain. and seeing the sick judgemental looks people give me now when I HAVE to go outside of my home.
They performed vein closures on me as well and there was no change.
@@RapiersSting This disease is a shit! Keeps you at home most of the time and going out is very difficult. Courage, my friend, some day they will find a drug against it! At the time, they are fucking up with stupid Covid, forgetting that there are far more people with that shit-edema. If they had put that much money in investigation of the edema, we would have a drug for it for a while now! Good luck!
