Lifestyle and home remedies

Strategies to help manage Klippel-Trenaunay syndrome symptoms include:

• Keep appointments. Regularly scheduled appointments can help your doctor identify and address problems early. Ask your doctor about a schedule of appointments appropriate for you.
• Use orthopedic shoes, if recommended. Orthopedic shoes or shoe inserts may improve your physical function.
• Follow your doctor's recommendations on physical activity. Encouraging use of affected limbs as appropriate may help relieve lymphedema and swelling of the blood vessels.
• Elevate affected limbs. When possible, raising your leg or other affected limb can help reduce lymphedema.
• Notify your doctor of changes. Work with your doctor to manage your symptoms and prevent complications. Contact your doctor if you have symptoms of blood clots or an infection or if you experience increased pain or swelling.
