Your lymphedema therapist should be able to get you a pair.

Clown is correct,

Just say on your next appointment that your fellow sufferers have all spoken off them and what good comments have been made, Would it be possible to have a set to try.

I can't see how it would be a problem, they are made to measure and are handy to have, more so if you later feel fluid is bilding up again but your at the stage of only needing your compression stockings.

I felt it allowed me to be in control, rather than having to wait to be seen, and that could be weeks, and in the meantime more fluid may be building.

My consultant has allowed me to pop them on top of my stockings during the day, that way i am getting a double compression and it really has worked for me.

Don't just do it without consulting your Team.

All the best.

goodtimes:

There is an excellent US Yahoo group for people with lymphoedema (I think the US omits the 'o). It's founder is a man called Pat O'Connor. Also, it would be worth Googling "US Lymphedema Support Miami". Best of luck.

There is a site called brightlife direct who stock farrow products for lympheodema but i would talk to my Dr or specialist before going it alone ,you may have to be measured to see which are the right size for you ,also it's best to get help from people who know and who can train you on how to uses them .

Google compression sales companies and many will come up. If you google farrow wraps many will come up. Some can advise you over the phone how to measure yourself. They will take down your info and advise which pair to purchase. I have done this and it is successful. I have lymphedema in my left leg and now wonder if I have it in my abdomen too. I just got the compression pumps and they are a help. In the US medicare pays for them.
