Dolores abdominales

[emytf]

Hi! I am new. I thought I had posted this question earlier but maybe I didn´t. I have Lymphedema in one leg and now find I have pains in my lower abdomen. Does anyone else have the same problem and any advice? (I am seeing a doctor so I will, of course, ask him also).

Definitely ask your doctor. It could be anything, but only a medical professional can diagnose safely.

Hello there, i also have lower limb and abdominal lymphoedema following cancer treatment & hysterectomy in 1992. In 2013 I had Multiple Layer Bandaging & Manual Lymph Drainage over a 3 week period at St Georges Hospital, i had Manual Lymph Drainage applied on my abdominal area also, the specialists can identify a distinction between fat and fluid in the abdominal area, together with compression garments for the legs i wear compression shorts for my abdominal area.

Lynora is correct it could be anything but medical diagnosis is needed, and access to good treatment/ management. For many years in my local area there was no specialists and few GPS had any knowledge of Lymphoedema let alone where to access appropriate care. Today thankfully there is more knowledge.

I hope you you find support via your GP.
