TM is not a disease, butrather a syndrome with resulting residuals. Swelling can be caused by a number of things, for ex.: non-mobility or medications.When did you get TM? What meds are you taking for your symptoms?Are you paralyzed?

I've had swelling in my feet/legs for years.
My left legs has more than the right because my left side has more neurological

Try lying down with your feet and lower legs above your head- two pillows under
your legs, none under your head, remain in this position for two hours (watch

Therapist says it's from the spinal column nerve damage. I thought it was from
wearing this AFO brace on that leg/foot all day.

valves in them cannot close so the blood does not circulate well so
the leg is turgid with fluids and wounds do not heal. The left leg is
normal.
This has been corrected by compression stockings.

I wrote a short time back about my TM history so I won't
go into detail.
I got TM a little over two years ago, but had no
post-hospitalfollow-up with a neurologist, just my primary
doctor.
I finally visited a neuro who ordered 3 MRI's, blood tests
and two other tests: VER(Visual Evoked
