Did you mention this to the Lymphoedema therapist last week? Pain should be investigated. Do you have problems with urinating or bowel movements? Is the pain constant or sporadic? Have you asked your GP to check you?

I have to have scans done on my legs and stomach I do suffer from constipation but have had this for years it doesn't bother me the pain is in The middle of my stomach high up nearer my ribs the pain is sporadic I have been going to the loo the past couple of days but that is down to worrying about my mother Thank you for getting back to me I feel like a pain in The ass xx

I am wondering if the lymph blockage is maybe exerting pressure on a nerve somewhere? That might expain why pain is sporadic? hopefully it will improve once you get your compression garments sorted out, though I know from this forum that with lower limb/trunk lympoedema it isn't necessarily straightforward.
