Lymphodema

Hi everyone

Is there anyone out there who suffers Lymphodema in the legs and has had the microsurgery and if so who much did it cost and was it successful - i believe the surgeon is based in Oxford - thanks in advance Julie

I can't answer your specific question, but I can lend my sympathy. I have lymphoedema and it affects most of my body, along with basic oedema. It gets worse as time goes by. I can't get any treatment for it on the NHS.

Is the microsurgery only available privately?

Thanks for the link - very interesting. Pity this treatment isn't more widely available for such a disabling condition.

that is interesting I wonder how much it does cost though!
