Guest guest Posted December 22, 2003 Report Share Posted December 22, 2003 , from my limited but very successful experience, the pressure was applied to the exact point of the wound to prevent the lymph from reaching the wound. It was done at once in my situation, before the trauma had set in. The pain was not bad, maybe due to shock, maybe due to the fact that oxygen was able to get in because the lymph fluids had not interfered yet. My thumb had been bashed on the nail, so I applied pressure right on the nail directly as if I were holding the nail in place. For my friend it was harder because we had to keep asking her where did she hurt herself when she fell from the tree, and she had multiple wounds that couldn't readily be seen, so communication was essential. We just applied as much constant pressure where ever it hurt, directly. Ideally you'd like to keep pressure for hours but in my case it was maybe 2 hours. In her case 15 minutes and later in the day, a half hour, so you do what you can in the situation, knowing the longer the better but anything is better than nothing. Amazing results, amazing...Dean On Monday, December 22, 2003, at 03:45 PM, Doedens wrote: > Dear Donna and Dean, > > So how is the pressure supplied. > You write about pressure on hurt limbs and strokes on swollen breasts. > Are these separate applications either ment to prevent Lymp to reach > a wounded erea or to pressure lymph out of an allready swollen erae. > > How exactly do you press, say your tumb, after its tip has been caught > in the cardoor? > Do you press just beneath the hurt part, do you press all arround the > tumb at once.
