Re: Swelling?

Hello, Thank you everyone for your input its always appreciated! I saw the lymph specialists this morning and had an ultra sound of chest an arm, no blood clots so that's a good thing. Being fitted for sleeve tomorrow. The NP said everyone has a slightly different take on lymphedema and treatment for it. Also that only if it shows up after surgery is it reverse-able, In my case that was 4 years ago so mine will not be able to be reversed. In the scheme of things not that big a deal. So in light of these things I will wait on the therapy for a few months and just follow suggested guidelines until September when all the summer fun is over which I'm totally ok with.

For the thoracic pinched nerves I will start pain shots and they believe it will resolve itself with in the year! Another no big deal.

Joanne, I did have an appt with Dr. Riutta he did not have an appt. until end of June and I was not comfortable with the size of my arm. I very glad you had great success with him!

I've been coming here for 4yrs. now and I am ever grateful for each and everyone of you! even the newbies! Gods blessings to all of you!
