My husband is 5 months out of treatment and would be really doing well if he hadn't developed sleep apnea 2 1/2 months ago. His lymphedema suddenly became worse althougth he had been doing massage and he developed sleep apnea almost overnight. Has had the CPAP machine 5 weeks now but unfortunately the pressure from the machine makes the swelling much worse. It is actually worse on his good side which I think is very strange. I have checked with the sleep apnea doctor and his massage therapist and no one seems to have dealt with this combination of problems. Just wondering if anyone else has??
