I sure would like to know if the doctor feels that this is lymphedema. When will you be seeing the doc to find out if he/she agrees that it is lymphedema? It's very important to rule out any other problems.
If so, as I mentioned before there are therapists trained just for the treatment of this problem. As you know, I am using one now.
It is making a tremendous difference in how I feel.
