Although I've had this most of my life, only recently have I been able to say with certainty that I have primary LE.
So.... could the various forms of LE (primary, secondary due to injury, secondary due to obesity) be treated differently, in the same way that diabetes is treated differently whether it's Type 1 or Type 2. (Insulin shots vs. Diet)
I took it upon myself to do some weight lifting to muscle exhaustion, followed by rest and elevation. My LE was not worsened by this, and I think it might be improved. So... does it make sense for those with Primary LE to strengthen the muscles in the affected limb to help improve lymph flow, while taking all necesary precautions?
I am NOT suggesting that anyone just try this - let's talk about it here.
