I have a very dear friend who experiences major swelling in the lower leg and ankle region. So far it's been slightly managed with reid sleeves. I had gotten a tip from a friend about a machine called the vibe machine. I am going to take my friend next week to see if this reduces some of the uncomfortable swelling. This machine increases your white blood cell count. I will email you next week after he tries it, to let you know the results. If you would like to get more infomation on this machine you can look on the website at www.vibemachine.com.
