The control group received conventional treatment for postoperative lower extremity edema, and the observation group received conventional treatment and Ziwu Liuzhu method combined with Shuxin Foot Bath Decoction. The scores of symptoms of edema of the affected limb, the quality of life was assessed by the European Cancer Research and Treatment Group The Organizational Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC-Q30), the circumference of the affected limb, and the Simple Fatigue Scale (BFI) to assess the severity of fatigue in patients and the effect of fatigue on personal life, comparing between the two groups of patients before and after treatment. Result: In the 2nd and 3rd week of treatment, the clinical efficacy of edema of the affected limb, the quality of life was assessed by the European Cancer Research and Treatment Group The Organizational Quality of Life Questionnaire (EORTC-Q30), the circumference of the affected limb, and the Simple Fatigue Scale (BFI) scores of the observation group were compared with those of the control groups.
