I’m so sorry you are also having trouble with your legs. By online research I had self diagnosed myself with post Covid lymphedema. I told the nurse that when I called for the appointment with my primary care doc. I had tried eliminating salt, elevation, icing, nothing helped. If you press on your leg with your fingertip and the skin stays in, it’s called pitting, a classic sign of lymphedema. My doctor tried me on a five day regimen of a diuretic, and then Lasix. I was to weigh myself before and after the 5 days. No weight change and no increase in urination. Lymph fluid is protein rich. Diuretics move water, not lymph fluid. So…there is no medication. My PC referred me to Space Coast Lymphedema Clinic in Viera Florida. It was covered by my Medicare and supplement with a doctor referral. They were amazing. There’s a whole process they do to compress the fluid out of your legs called compression bandaging. I went 2x a week for a few months. Once the fluid is down, they put you in thigh high compression stocking to be worn daily to manage lymphedema. They also put me on a Lymphapress. It’s a pump that hooks up to two boots. The pump fills the chambers of the boots gradually to press the fluid out of your legs back into your lymph system. I’d often have to run to the bathroom afterwards. They also did exercises, lymphatic drainage massage, and recommended a lymphatic diet. I was blessed that the clinic was only 30 minutes from my home.
