              I have been on low dose naltrexone for 4 yrs.  I was stage IIIA and have been NED since Oct 2007.  I figure the meds can't hurt 🙂

                    Ann,

                    I had a LND of my groin about 4 yrs ago.  I went to MD Anderson and they have a department for lymphedema.  Also, my local hospital has a dept for lymphedema.  Both have been very helpful.  There are message techniques they can teach you as well as compression tights.  My leg has some numbness on the inner thigh.  I guess I have gotten use to it (it's been 4 yrs).  I don't know if this is helpful info….just know you are not alone:)  Let me know if I can help….

                          I don’t know how much this will help…I had a skin graft on my lower shin a few inches above my foot. I was totally unprepared for the recovery! I couldn’t put any wreight on it for a few days and then was on crutches and couldn’t drive for a few months. I had an excellent plastic surgeon do mine!
                          Good luck to you and your dad. Definitely go to a doctor who knows their stuff!!

                                Thank you for your reply! I know it’s very unlikely it’s melanoma!…however, I had stage III melanoma 4 yrs ago on my leg.
                                I guess I’ll always be a little paranoid:)
