Hi there
I have eodema in the breast (not arm, or cellulitus). I started going to the physio who had some experience with lymphodeama (get medicare rebate through GP management plan) but have now found a lady who does lymphatic drainage massage (through private health). She recommended a compression bra which I now wear everyday. She ordered mine through Dickory Dock in Melebourne. I have started back doing regular exercise for the last couple of months and the improvement has been great even without me doing my own massage daily.
The massage I get (was fortnightly, but now managing to go monthly) feels great and helps a lot. And obviously, for me, regular exercise is also proving to be of assistance.
I have had mine for 12 months now, and from what I have been told it may always be with me. It is a nuisance and some days I just refuse to do the massage because I am sick of it all!
Hope you find some relief and help.
