Hi everyone

I have just joined my name is chats. Hope I am not repeating myself as not sure how this works but has anyone had any experience with having more swelling whilst wearing a compression garment? I have Lymphoedema of the breast. Thanks

Where is the additional swelling? In the arm? Hand? Chest? Neck? Abdomen? Shoulder?

How recent was the surgery? Did you have radiotherapy?

Are you under the care of a lymphoedema clinic?

Have you been taught self lymphatic drainage?

Not what you're looking for?
