Well hello Susan!!!
Great...I was looking for someone like you...well versed with this ld stuff. You have a great attitude, I'm sure you will overcome this unwelcome house guest. Why do you have so much scar tissue? Is it from ld or previous rads, or surg? I will look up the Tribute sleeve as soon as I finish here & the Flexi Touch sounds like a pump...is it? My ld Dr doesn't like pumps, but I'm already looking into one, have you ever tried one before? Perhaps your PT & some stretching can break up that scar tissue. I do have a good PT, spoke with her today, but haven't seen her since last summer's episode. She mentioned that there is a new sleeve out that covers shoulder area which is my problem right now...the sleeves just push everything up to my problem area & dump it there, which is why I'm willing to try pump. I do see massage therapist weekly who is fabulous!!! She was helping me with pain from mets to hip recently, & she actually felt tightness in my arm just before I noticed ld resurfacing again. She gets it to drain real well...but you know the routine...it fills up again...UGH. Please do share your experience with me, I am curious to hear what you've gone through.
XOXO
Audrey
