Guest guest Posted June 3, 2010 Report Share Posted June 3, 2010 70+ yrs old. Tripped & skined my shin. Took a strip of skin 4 " long & up to 2 " wide & 2 layers deep 2-3 weeks ago. Leg got infected & swelled up from just behind my toes to about 6 " below my knee. After doing a lot of research on this site, I proceeded to build a Novice Godzilla. June. 1, 2010. 1st time use, in the P.M.. I put 1 sponge under my toes & the ball of foot, which was resting on a piece of plastic, this to keep the rug dry & the sponge clean, & the other on my knee(forgot to put an insulater between hand & sponge). 5 minutes then reverse & another 5 minutes. June. 2nd. No morning use. 2nd time again in the P.M.. (remembered to insulate) 5 min. then reverse for 5 min. Bed a couple of hours later. I must not have wrang the sponges out enough. About 4 hours later(june. 3rd) I woke up with extreme pain in the top tendon in my ancle & in leg around the wound. I rubbed leg & ancle down with Vit. E creme (while doing that I noticed that a lot of the swelling was gone & my leg was not such a nasty red color) & tryed to go back to sleep. No go, so got up & walked around a bit. After 1/2 hour or so most of the pain went away. No morning use. Will post more later. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
