Basically, I feel great except that I developed lymphedema in my legs and feet.  I am learning how to control it now, but I do have pain sometimes, I have to wrap my feet, elevate my legs and feet every day, etc. I saw some lotion on the lymphedema products website, does this lotion help reduce the swelling, does anyone know or have any additional information. Thank you for your help and advice.  less

    Staff Certified Lymphedema Therapist HI Pamela and welcome! Lymphoderm is a great lotion to use, but it does not reduce the swelling. Have you seen a lymphedema therapist yet? There is a therapist directory on the norton school website (nortonschool.com) where you can find a therapist...  moreHI Pamela and welcome! Lymphoderm is a great lotion to use, but it does not reduce the swelling. Have you seen a lymphedema therapist yet? There is a therapist directory on the norton school website (nortonschool.com) where you can find a therapist close to your home. I would start there and best of luck to you!
