Lymphedema in breast ???
Does anyone have any suggestions for relief ? I don’t know if I’m just grabbing at straws before the ct in November my breast and armpit swells and becomes hot and painful its not all the time tho...
Great info, @Kristen
@cranky_granny - your medical team should be able to put you onto a lymphedema specialist too, who would physically take you thru (and give you) the massage technique .... maybe ask for a referral?
I had a session with one about a month after my surgery & was quite surprised how 'firm' the massage was ..... I was very lucky tho, as I didn't have any ongoing issues
take care xx
