    I wear compression stockings and use a foam wedge to elevate my left leg.  I have been dx’d with lymphedema resulting from surgery.    A physical therapist specializing in lymphedema can teach massage techniques to get the lymph glands moving.  Is leg swelling a symptom in MS?

    I lived in Baldwinsville from 1980-1994.  Experienced  my first MS symptoms in 1983 at age 32 but no Dx until May of 2000 while living in Seattle.  My first 12 years of life where in Indiana, also a hotbed for MS.  My home in B’ville required Radon mitigation. I have always wondered about that.
