Guest guest Posted December 16, 2008 Report Share Posted December 16, 2008 Ozone bagging and I.V. helps everything to work better and you get lots less tissue death. Laser can be very helpful, especially at the appropriate acupuncture points aswell as bathing the area. Treat this like a burn if it is really bad. Very!!!Gentle handling but rubbing up for lymphatic drainage if they can stand it is helpful. Hosing first cold then warm can reduce the sensitivity before handling. Back in the Dark ages I used sulfa urea cream or powder to reduce the edema, sugar or honey compresses can do the same thing if it is a weepy sausage leg. Judith M.
