Re: Mild Lymphedema

I relate to the difficulty you're having and the different approaches to treatment. It would be great if everyone could agree on a Best Practice! I have a lead on a therapist in Knoxville and will see her on Monday. I am hopeful for the first time in a while. My arm has begun to hurt and develop some hard areas, so I am concerned.

Good luck with the new outfits! LynneR
