I spoke with my mom's lymphedema therapist today about your question. She said that she thought if he was going in for the swelling issue he should be wrapped for it. My mom has had over 50 dives, not for swelling but for the pain and healing. My mom also has a bit of swelling on the opposite side that her therapist has been working on, at the end of her tx today you could see that it was a little less swollen. She did ask that we bring that to mom's RO's attention when we go on 9/30. She wasn't quite sure if it looked more pronounced because she had the dissection done only on the one side. Mom is much more comfortable when receiving treatments. Kim, the therapist, said that in Germany they wrap the patients prior to going into chamber in a way that will help with the drainage.
