I'm taking Vitamin D at the moment and have been since lockdown started.
I am considering cryotherapy for my lipedema and injury-related pain. The pain is in my left leg, which also hurts from the lipedema. Acupuncture was not much of a help. Cryotherapy--at least anywhere near me--is cheaper than any acupuncture in my area. Still not covered by my insurance, but my doctor thinks I should give it ago. My issues are that I am short, claustrophobic, and hate the cold. The shortness is an issue because they put you in some standing container thing. I am afraid I would not be able to see over the top and I cannot easily stand on a platform that might make me taller because my balance is really bad. I just have to be brave enough to try. One would think if I can handle acupuncture I can handle standing in a semi-open chamber!Mostly I want to get acupuncture, but it would be interesting to see if there were any natural supplements I could add
My daughter-in-law and I both use it. She gets cramping from her medication, and I have restless leg syndrome, lipedema (which also causes leg pain), and nerve damage to my left leg.

Yes, but only when I remember! I'm terrible for keeping up with taking them.
I'm supposed to take Iron for anemia. And I also have Vitamin D, a B complex, Omegas and Magnesium...but I often fall off the wagon about taking them everyday. I also have vitamin C that I'll (try to) take during cold and flu season.

Also, I would look into cupping. It helps to get the fluid under the skin to move, and also would help get the fascial tissue release which may help the distribution of the fat deposits that accumulate the fluid.
I've treated many clients with cupping techniques for swelling, edema, restless legs, and various other leg pain issues and they feel it really helps.
I have a friend who LOVES cyrotherapy! She was very athletic as a teen (and still is very active) so she has had some sports injuries.I am considering cryotherapy for my lipedema and injury-related pain.
