This is my first post and my mom has als. She lately has gotten one arm that is very swollen(she can't use it and is in a wheelchair as both her legs don't work anymore) and today I did a massage technique on it to help drain the swelling from it and I had a 75% reduction in the swelling in 35 minutes. She was so happy by this as she had been getting quite a bit of pain in the area and of course I was so happy to have helped her.
I do have an interesting question and that is regarding electro-muscle stimulation which is proven to stop muscle wasting in people with limited mobility. My question is does electro muscle stimulation work to prevent muscle wasting in a person with als specifically? Has anyone on this forum given it a try with daily sessions for a month and has it proved therapeutic? I am very seriously interested in doing this to help prevent muscle wasting as much as possible for my mom.
Please respond with your thoughts, experiences.
Thank you,
Pierre
