This patient came to us after “years” of undiagnosed lymphedema of the right lower leg. He spent his career as a surgical technician at the local hospital where he was required to stand for extended periods of time. He was also unable to go through complete decongestive therapy as he was unable to wear bandages in the operating room. He was a part of many life saving surgeries never taking time to address his own health condition. He retired in the last few month and came to us to finally get the care he needed. It took us only 11 days to decongest his leg and get him in a Juxta fit essential. He is now in need of a night garment to continue to fully address his condition.
