Lymphedema Treatment: Legs

It is possible to stop for oral pain medications or destroyed before they reach the brain?

My brother has since pretty much anything for the pain in the legs, Neurontin 600mg, hydrocodone 10/325, ect, and absolutely no pain relief, not even in the slightest. We wanted to find out he lymphedema, 2 Degree has including cellulitis, and he is treated not yet done with the manual lymph drainage and packaging that will help, it seems with the leg swelling, but so far, after 3 treatments has something for the pain. Is it possible that the pain medication given, to a certain point and before reaching the part of the body, where it sends signals the brain does not feel that their pain .... the signals to the brain that destroys his feelings and 8 or more in the pain scale is not at all blocked Pain is a constant 24 / 7. to block the signals I do not painkillers. Who knows what could be causing this? and would bring pain patches in order to the legs or pain shots work? Thank You, Marti

Welcome Marti It is good, my brother is getting the care he needs. Cellulitis is an infection and can cause serious, if he is now an active infection should not be in therapy if the infection is cured, it should be addressed in order again. The swelling and gravity of the fluid can press on the nerves very painful. Many of us with the condition have chronic pain and disability. Has he for fibromyalgia evaluated? It tends to go hand in hand with lymphedema, as well as chronic fatigue, high blood pressure, thyroid problems, sleep apnea and restless leg, etc. Other Problems that we have lymph also. Pain patches probably will not help, you can try, but without knowing exactly the correct circulation and the cause of the pain could it's a waste of money. Where exactly is the pain in my legs?
