Lymphedema in right leg with CLL

Has anyone had the chronic leg swelling problem? I have been on Imbruvica 3 years but for the past year or so, my right leg is just bigger than the left to the point where I cannot wear all of my shoes. A vein clinic dr. put me in compression stockings to no avail, then he looked into a pump to massage my leg at home but Medicare nixed that idea, and now I have been sent to a physical therapist who wants to put me in daily bandaging for 6-8 weeks which just sounds like a major, time consuming, not to mention Medicare does not pay for those supplies either royal pain.
