Re: Help with Lymphedema
I have lymphedema. Im pretty sure you would know the difference between lymphedema and normal swelling once it starts up, but definitely better to have it checked out, which you did.
I slammed my finger in a cabinet at work, and kind of messed up my fingernail. A couple days later that finger was so swollen it looked like it belonged to Mickey Mouse. It has never totally gone away. Also, I counted money a lot at work, and even the repetitive motion of that caused my hand to swelling up. Thats gone now since I no longer work.
I sure hope your wife is doing okay! Lots of prayers and positive energy headed your way.
