Head and Neck Lymphoedema - Improving Quality of Life With Deep Oscillation: Sue Hansard, Lymphoedema Specialist Practitioner
By Mary Fickling on Aug 26 2022.
PhysioPod Forward: For the first few weeks of treatment, Sue was only able to use gentle Manual Lymphatic Drainage (MLD), which softened and reduced the Lymphoedema. This was due to skin sensitivities and residual side effects of cancer treatment. Supplementary modalities of Kinesio Tape, Deep Oscillation and low level infra red light therapy were not well tolerated. A garment was found that worked well, without causing any skin irritation and the patient performed Simple Lymphatic Drainage (SLD). After eight weeks, low level infra red light, then Kinesio tape and 6D tape, and finally, Deep Oscillation were re-introduced.

Vacation Medication: A Note Of Caution - By Christine Talbot
By Mary Fickling on Jul 28 2022.
Mrs W was enjoying a family holiday in Florida but developed a streaming nasal and sinus congestion with a persistent cough at the beginning of her last week. All Covid tests were negative and she thought the heavy cold like symptoms had been caused by repeatedly going between efficient cold air conditioning into high outside temperatures. Having forgotten her Day and Night Nurse remedy from the UK, Mrs W bought the equivalent cold/sinus congestion medication from an Amercian superstore. She took two capsules of the day medication which dried up the runny nose and reduced her coughing. Prior to bed Mrs W took one capsule of night decongestant from the blister pack of two. She awoke three times during the night urgently requiring to pass urine. She felt very drugged and drowsy with a fuzzy head each time she got up.
