DeDe,

Tell your doctor about your symptoms to see if is in fact lymphedema because you can go to therapy for that to help lessen the swelling. They also teach you had to do the therapy at home. I know I get a throbbing sensation and some pain when my hand swells. I have a compression garments that I put on when this happens and it helps ease the symptoms.

I just checked out your website, you are one very talented lady!! Awesome work!!
