Hi I am looking for a true LE clinic in the Seattle or Denver area. Just locating names that are certified doesn't seem to be enough. I need someone who can do an exam that can tell the difference between LE and fluid filled tunnels from infection. Please let me know if you have experience with a clinic dedicated to LE. Thanks

Hi, sed, Doesn't sound like things are going so good with you, yes? Okay, so the NLN lists these as approved "LE Treatment Centers": Providence St. Peter Hospital, Olympia, 888-492-9480 x37646 Franciscan Health System - LE Services, Tacoma, 253-426-6530 MultiCare Health System, Tacoma/Gig Harbor, 253-403-1040 Valley Medical Center - Rehab Services LE Program, Renton, 425-656-4049 They don't have any listings at all for Colorado. Hope that helps. Please let us know how you do! Real gentle (((((hugs!))))) Binney |

Thanks Binney for the prompt reply. I don;t have infections now, but the two i had last summer formed tunnels in the pectoral muscle and pain has increased since i began treatment for LE. I understand LE treatment isn;t supposed to hurt. I had no LE symptoms. I went for a consult before flying and to get a sleeve and found that I already had "mild LE". Since getting compression pads, compression vest, sleeve and glove it seems to me that swelling has increased. Pain definitely has. I feel a real professional should evaluate this session.

I'm so sorry. Sure would matter a whole lot whether you were dealing with LE or infection!! 
Yikes!
