Oh bugger!
I don't have lymphedema as such but I occasionally get a tightness in the sternum and a build up of fluid in my left arm. The sarcastic name is tuck shop arms. Anyhow I have a lymphatic drainage massage about 3 maybe 4 times per year.
Recently I had surgery requiring drainage tube and it was only in for about 14 hours. I believe it was my maintenance, I had a lymphatic drainage massage 48 hours prior to surgery. The Anaesthetist gave me a look like I was whacky but I was pleased as it paid off!
Wishing you all the best and mormality
Sending you a virtual hug x
