Sorry, I should have been more specific. The lateral massage got rid of the huge, unsightly swelling. I feel a tightness at the end of the day, and I am convinced that my once oval face is now round because of lingering lymph issues. I have also learned that if I sleep on the unafffected side, that helps. I have found that overall, although I feel 100%, I still am surprised by little improvements every now and again. I suspect this may go on for a long time, and the decrease in lymph stiffness may be one of the gradual improvements. I hope so!
