Honestly it the the DAMN(excuse me, but I hate it that much) that causes me the most problems. I have to wear a glove and sleeve in order to be able to even use my hand. I have tried everything. Manual Lymphatic massage, night wrapping, reid sleeve, and a lymphatic pump. If it was not for this lymphedema I would think about BC that much. My advice to you, is to get treatment right away. I don't want anyone to get it as bad as me.
