The following photos are anything but flattering. I am not posting them for pity. I am posting them to show how serious a clogged lymphatic system and neuropathy can be. Don’t ignore the symptoms like I did. Please seek help right away. Don’t put it off.

Swelling caused by clogged lymphatic system.

The right ankle is the ankle replacement I received in 2020. It seems to attract more fluid causing an edema or so say the doctors.

Special compression socks set up.

Compression boots I use an hour in morning and an hour at night. I also use redlight therapy for 40 minutes in morning and 40 minutes at night. Doctor said I would have to use the boots the rest of my life.

The neuropathy causes you to feel like you are walking on rocks and can be quite painful. The skin hurts when touched. Neuropathy is usually caused by diabetes, but the doctor has told me that people can have it without being diabetic. you have a tingling like your feet and legs are asleep and sometimes it feels like bugs are crawling up your legs. The swelling in the feet can be so bad it feels like your feet are going to bust open.

The neuropathy is working its way into my arms and hands, and I am losing the ability to write. What I do manage to write I can’t read it. I am also losing strength in them. It is also hard to type.

Please if you have tingling and burning in your legs and feet don’t ignore it. See your doctor and also eat a healthy diet.

Again, I am not looking for sympathy by any means, I am just trying to make people aware of how serious it can be. It also affects your balance, and I have taken several hard falls.
