Thanks so much for responding
Because I can't bend right leg I cant use a bike. I tried to use my eleptical trainer and my right leg just locked and not able to use. I have been to a few Dr's and no answer for how to get my leg to bend. I am on crutches for 2 years almost. My posture is so messed up because of all this.
What i am going to try is walking on my treadmill to see if that somehow maybe helps blood flow and work through the bad pain. My legs are wrapped and I also wear a knee brace with compression every day which helps with swelling. Im also going to take ibuprofen before exercising.
I may be writing you again if thats OK.

@mpc6627 hello, you are always welcome to ask questions or have any updates. I’m always looking for new ways to reduce my edema.
