The swelling I have is below the ankle and only on top of the foot. The discomfort is that the skin is streched. At least it is not so bad that the skin is peeling as it was previously. I will ask at my next appointment which is in May. Perhaps lymph masssage would help. Has anyone had experience with this? I am anticipating a very uncomfortable situation next weeek when I travel. I often have discomfort flying because my feet don't reach the floor.
