Donnarose
Lymphedema was bad for me as well, pain was great at times, I found a Lady that would massage that area for me, and the swelling did go down and the pain went away, you have to find one that has the experience with Lymphedema I went to one before I found this lady and I thought she was going to kill me, I still at times have swelling today I go back and have her give me a treatment ot two and it does go away.
Good Luck to you and your mother.
