I was diagnosed with stage 2 lymphedema just a few months ago. I have it in my feet all the way op below my chest. It is miserable. I started therapy 2 weeks ago and have managed to get it down with massage and being wrapped. The swelling started in January while I was in the hospital with my husband that suffered a major stroke. I could not sleep and was under so much stress. We were in the hospital for 30 days and I am now his caregiver full time. I had to quit my job of 14 years. Life seems a little rough at the moment and I feel like I may never look normal again. At age 50 last summer I was wearing a sz 8 and riding horses with my husband. I have gained about 40 lbs and am extremely depressed. I need support for sure so glad to find this site

Hello and God bless you all. I have lymphedema in my left arm and hand. It is from Brest cancer surgery. I had a double mastectomy. Also 10 lymph nodes removed in my left arm. I am trying to manage it myself. I just went to a therapy center last month.
I bought a compression garment. I came upon this group. Thanks for the information.
God bless you all and happy 4 th of July.

Just joined this group! Lymphedema right leg since 1996 due to lymph node dissection for stage 3 melanoma! I have managed well over these 19 years! My question is I need to have a leaking valve repaired in right calf(venaseal repair).....pressure way too high and causing calf pain. Has anyone had this procedure done....how did it affect the lymphedema....he tells me my vein is VERY small which is unusual....I have been given the option of IV sedation....anyone thoughts? having this done in August! Thank you!
