    G Kirozal Hi. I have it in my right leg. See if you can have a therapist measure and order you a set of custom made stockings. They're a nice alternative when you're...

    Monique Hatch I've used a Flexitouch for about 18 months and I have loved it. It has made my swelling due to lymphedema much more manageable. That's my experience anyway. ...
