Message: <blockquote data-quote="Krystyna23040" data-source="post: 2734417" data-attributes="member: 374421">5.5 this morning.Swelling from ankle almost gone.  So has the bruising.  On Thursday it was swollen like a football and the whole foot and ankle was black, blue and purple. .Very puzzling why it should be healing at supersonic speed.Since Covid I have been ribcage breathing from dawn to dusk - every minute of the day to avoid getting a chest infection.Of course, when we ribcage breathe the fascia in the trunk moves and hydrates.  If the ribcage doesn't move when we breathe it doesn't move and dehydrates.  Then the lymphatic channels that are in the deep facia of the trunk become very sluggish and this upsets the synovial lymphatic system which vital for our joints.It does look like this system is clearing the inflammation, bruising and swelling from my ankle.  I also suffer from chronic inflammation and swelling in finger joints and that has gone also.  I have normal fingers.It has not been easy to become a ribcage breather all day l o my but well worth it.</blockquote>
