Swollen Feet/Pain behind knees

[Guest guest]

Hello All, I hope I can explain this correctly!! I have had minor

swelling in my feet and minor pain behind my knees for a couple of

years. Shortly after getting my power chair it got worse. I really

thought this was more crap from PLS!! One day I noticed that when I

proped my feet up so that behind my knees was just barely touching

the seat of my chair the pain faded!! BINGO!! I had my husband

raise my foot rest up so there was no pressure under my knee!! Also,

when I'm on the computer I have a little stool I use. I turn my seat

around and put my feet on that stool. This raises my legs! There is

no pressure at the bend of my legs!! Swelling has almost completely

ended and no more pain!! Sounds so simple, but it really worked for

me! I also have a stool in the car I use for the same thing. The

solution for me is to do this and also, NEVER, NERVER let my legs

dangle. Try this!! It may help!! LOVE, PAT in NC
