By Howard J. Tzorfas D.P.M.
Millions of Americans suffer each year with chronic swelling in
their legs and feet. There are many causes for chronic swelling. Some of
them are venous insufficiency, poor circulation and heart problems. But many
times people are suffering with Lymphedema and not these other problems.
Lymphedema is an inflammation of the lymph glands in their legs and feet.
Many times it is missed or misdiagnosed. Many physicians will prescribe
water pills to decrease the swelling in your feet and legs. This does help but
does require for you to use the bathroom often, especially at night. Other
treatments include compression stockings which can be uncomfortable and
very difficult to use in the summer months.
There is a new treatment for chronic lymphedema in the legs and
feet. This is a compression lymphedema pump. It involves applying two large
vinyl sleeves over your legs and then connected to a compression pump where
it gets inflated segmentally over an hour. This treatment is not painful and
only needs to be used once or twice a day. Patients can get immediate relief
without medication or compression stockings.
This treatment is usually fully covered by Medicare and most
insurances. It is required for you to go see your podiatrist, have them
examine your legs and feet and have measurements taken. Once this is done
then a representative from the company can call you and make arrangements
to come to your home for you to be fitted for use of the compression pump.
Most patients have responded extremely well to this treatment.
If you have any foot problems, issues and questions,
please contact Howard J. Tzorfas, D.P.M. at 908.236.6999,

Hunterdon Hills Plaza, 1386 Hwy 22W, Lebanon.
