[|AI|]  Hi, thank you for providing the brief history of you. As you mentioned you had a lymphatic blockage since 2000 due to an accident, the extent of the injury to the blood vessels needs to be estimated by using the ultrasound scanning and also the Doppler test. Once we know this, there will be a treatment plan designed specifically for it. Also, for the swelling, performing regular lower limb muscle strengthening is important. As medicine and natural methods are more of symptomatic relief. The focus has to be made to make the muscles stronger as to avoid any space for the fluid to accumulate. Also, exercises will help improve the metabolism and keep the lower limbs at the optimum. I have seen many chronic lymphedema cases, and the exercises have helped them a lot for reducing the swelling and also the over all functioning of the lower limbs. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
