Another quack treatment like reiki, reflexology, body wraps, cellulite creams or rollers, homeopathy, the blood type diet (Dr. D’Adamo), lectins are the basis for most diseases and fruit causes type 2 diabetes diet (Dr. Gundry), etc. etc. designed to separate people from their money.

My surgeon had me wearing something like this after my knee replacement, but he had his PA cut them off after 2 weeks.

My lower left leg has been showing pitting edema for a couple years. At my Whipple procedure pre-op consult, I asked my surgeon if that was a concern. I was sent ASAP for an ultrasound evaluation. The result was an old clot that runs from above my left knee to my ankle. Immediate prescription for Eliquis to start dissolving it. Recommendation for a compression stocking as the clot keeps all the vein valves open from my left knee to foot. The stocking does drive the fluid back up and it is a real pain to put on and must come off every morning before my shower. It is medically valuable, but time consuming.

I suspect the clot was generated as a side effect of contracting COVID-19 in Jan 2022 and Jan 2023. I had no problem prior to that time. I did not ever take the mRNA injection. Clotting was one of the possible consequences of COVID-19.

"With that being said, it comes as no surprise that when I learned that lymphatic drainage leggings (they’re usually referred to as compression massage leggings) were an actual thing, I knew I had to give this burgeoning activewear-meets-wellness “trend” a try ASAP."

Hate to tell you, but lymphatic draining clothing is old news.

Now a days, there is something called "Firefly".

Firefly is an EMS (electronic muscle stimulator) device about the size of a Apple watch that is placed just below your knee over the common peroneal nerve. It causes the lower extremity muscles to be activated at 1 PPS. It was originally designed for lymphatic draining and prevention of post-surgical blood clotting due to muscle inactivity.

You use it for 1-4 hours. This muscle activation gives an incredible "blood pumping" effect that is the latest in muscle recovery, not reserved for, but especially useful for athletes.

You heard it here first!
