Re: Mild Lymphedema
 
Hi DogLover: With regards to your breast lymphedema- You mentioned that you consulted with three "certified lymphedema specialists" about your enlarged breast and they recommended compression garments. Did any of them offer to do manual lymph drainage before fitting you for a garment? Because the swelling must be reduced first, before you are measured for a compression garment, and the most effective means for reducing swelling of lymphedema is the Vodder technique taught at legitimate lymphedema training schools.Do you know what letters there were after the three "specialist's" names?
