Lymphedema Treatment: How to Reduce Fibrosis

One piece of lymphedema treatment is finding ways to eliminate fibrosis. Fibrosis is a thickening, hardening, or tissue scarring caused by an inflammatory process from swelling or fluid built up over time. It's common for those who have lymphedema or chronic swelling to have fibrosis, which has the potential to fluctuate, progress, or worsen over time if it's not addressed. In this video, I will explain what fibrosis is and how to eliminate it and improve lymphedema and swelling.

Lipedema also causes swelling. You might want to add it into your title and keywords, in order to help even more people who are searching for relief. Thank you!

[hdevere]

Thank you very much for this video. It is so helpful. I’m going to order the Mobiderm form. Please keep making these videos. It makes me feel less alone with this debilitating condition.

What exercise can you suggest for lymph edema in the ankles and legs?

[narantuyaenkhtaivan]

Thank you for all information. I have already bump on my neck. Should i do exercise for my neck

[SteelerQueen]

I have PRIMARY Lipo-Lymphedema with severe fibrosis in my Bilateral Lower Extremities and NO Treatment, Dr, MLD, or PCP, that has any idea what to do in my local area! The inhumane PAIN & SUFFERING, I have endured in the last 10 yrs has become unbearable! I have had more than ENOUGH!
How do I find help?

[gregdagostino]

How do you reduce fibrosis in the neck region. I do your lymph node drainage but neck is still stiff. Recently had malignant tonsil removed and 24 lymph nodes in my neck. Also had 20 rounds of radiation and 2 rounds of chemotherapy. Thank you

[chuckmayerchak]

I would like to ask you a question off topic of this video. I have mild swelling mainly in my left foot and ankle area from inguinal lymhnode surgery as a result of stage 3 penile cancer. The nodes were all negative. Your tutorials for exercise massage and dry brushing have worked wonders for me. Byvthe way I'm 74 years of age.
That being said what compression level stockings should I wear for daily use I'm retired but like to be on my feet for 4 to 6 hours per day.
I'm currently using 15 to 20 knee hig Trueform.
Thank you so much for all your effort making such helpful videos. You have made my life so much more enjoyable!

[Magretandrews]

Thanks a lot Dr osuma for your care, support and tolerance, towards my health condition having fibrosis almost ruined my entire life...

[hezekiahsparrow]

I am interested in the mobiderm products. I had 123 lymph nodes removed from cancer surgery eight years ago. Complete larynjectomy with tep for speech.

[jackienewberry]

Do you plan to do a video on use of Mobiderm? I have lymphedema of one leg and fibrosis on the lower part of the calf. They also have garments lined with Mobiderm. Thank you so much. I learn so much from you.

My CLT insisted that I have the bandaging against my better judgment and I lost my job as a result.

[CraftingFaith]

I have lymphedema that effects the right side of my stomach. Should I wear the compression shorts? I never have gotten an answer if this is something that will help or not. Thank you so much for your videos.

[kathy]

Thanks, this is very helpful!! Can you please do a video of how to treat fibrosis in the shoulder (front and back)? Besides massaging, is there a way to wrap that area? I can't seem to find anywhere. Thanks for your videos!

[samhugh]

How does one use this product on the toes?

[kathrynbrown]

Do you have a video on radiation fibrosis in the chest and axilla after breast cancer treatment? I had a double mastectomy with no reconstruction, then radiation on one side. That side is extremely tight and uncomfortable; no lymphedema though.
