cording after having blood pressure taken

Hi,

I am a lymphedema sufferer.  I would be getting an immediate referal to an occupational therapist.  Just in case it is the early stages of lymphedema.  Unfortunately I did not do this and as a result my lymphedema was quite bad.  I am not saying it is lymphedema, but always wise to check.  If someone is not lymhedema trained they may not be aware of the correct way to massage your arm.  Occupational therapists are usually brilliant with this.  That nurse needs to be educated immediately.  Hopefully everything will turn out OK, but just the same she could do real damage to someone in the future.  You should not have needed to be assertive, she should have been better educated.  Wishing you all the best.
