Can lemphodema be treated as my arm has swelled up so much that I can't use it. I am waiting for a sleeve to be made.
Hi
Sorry to read this, lymphoedema can be very debilitating when it gets worse :-/
Perhaps you need the help of a specialist Lymph drainage therapist. There is some drainage massage you can do yourself which is mentioned in the MLD link.
You can read more about the MLD Service here. There is also this Mac Main Lymphoedema Information page.
Hope this is of some help, G n' J
