Has anyone tried acupuncture for lymph build-up ?

Thank you, Anne (@BlackWidow) for letting others know about my acupuncture.  I am doing really well with the Lymphoedema and the arthritis pain - nothing happening most days !  Apart from the dry eyes issue being resolved I have found I no longer have fluid build-up in the ankles.
@kmakm - I find the one near the thumb is the only one I really feel.  Last visit she has 19 needles in me as I asked her to count them as she removed them. 
I am going each fortnight and that seems to be keeping me feeling so much better.  It may extend to every 3 weeks once she gets my body sorted.  Ha Ha.
My lady is a qualified and registered doctor of chinese medicine.
For those who are concerned, no needles are placed anywhere near the Lymphoedema and as they use wipes prior to inserting the needles the risk of infection is very low.
Hope this helps others.  Acupuncture is worth a go.

@iserbrown I'm definitely not in as much pain! They put me in a warmer, darker room and got the sound system working. I almost fell asleep!

Sounds better this session!  Fingers crossed 

I had a other session today. Crossing my fingers it works (though my issues aren't lymph).

Acupuncture can be beneficial in some instances.  Pleased to read Summer is coping better as a result of acupuncture. 
My Dad has acupuncture monthly  for Meniere's.

Best wishes 

Spoke to Summer the other day and she is continuing with the acupuncture as the benefits have been amazing.  The acupuncturist has been working to ''balance the fluids throughout the body'' - the lymph swelling has not returned to the usual painful extent (although after some heavy works she can see a small amount of buildup in one area), her arthritic knees have not been swelling and she suddenly realized she has not had the daily painful sore dry eyes.  Seems like a good thing to me to not have to take drugs through the stomach.  Anne

@Sarnicad Oh that is good to hear. I'm looking forward to it. Many years ago acupuncture helped me a lot with a bad back.

@kmakm I have had about 4 sessions for joint pain and hot feet and swelling on the ankles with great success. My right knee rarely hurts anymore, after the last session I had relief from left knee and hip pain for about 4 days - totally pain free, came back after that but I have been over doing it.  My hot feet that were stopping me from sleeping every night are down to about once a fortnight

i recommend giving it a go

About to try it for AI joint pain.

Hi @Summerhill38, you may be interested in the most recent webcast about lymphoedema (if that is what the fluid build up is related to). https://www.bcna.org.au/understanding-breast-cancer/resources/webcasts/
You need to complete registration details and can then watch the webcast which is 45 mins long. This is the first of 2 sessions on this subject. The details for part two can be seen through the same link and you can watch it live and submit questions during the broadcast. Best wishes, Rosie
