Guest guest Posted January 4, 2006 Report Share Posted January 4, 2006 Dear Sabina, << My legs feel like they will burst everytime I stand up! >> I think we have all experienced that. It's frightening and horrible. The pain is probably due to pressure of edema. The way I have treated that is to get bedrest and use elastic bandages. The trick I use is to wrap the bandages in the AM when still in bed and the legs are the least swollen. Here is an article on swollen legs and treatment: http://home.att.net/~liveletdie5/ALS/swelling.html I know you have little ones to care for, and that you can't stay in bed all day to get the rest you need. Is there anyone you can have help you out? Shins up! Love, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
