Re: Update on lymphedema ?

Suggest that you obtain a referral to a lymphedema-trained and certified therapist to assess your situation. I cannot diagnose your condition, but I would suggest that a course of complex decongestive therapy (CDT) by a certified lymphedema therapist (CLT or CLT-LANA), and then measurement for a custom (flat knit/seamed) compression sleeve might solve your problem. Custom sleeves are returnable within a month's time if they do not fit. An ill-fitted elastic sleeve can cause more problems than they solve.
