I have lymphedema in my left leg and am wondering if I bought a massage machine if that would help. The nurse I spoke to advised against the wrap around the leg types in case that made matters worse, and advised that i went for a foot massage one. I'm wondering if this would make much difference as I walk nearly every day anyway. Has anyone any experience of either kind of machine?

Hi Nanny Anny, I had lymphoedema in my groin about the size of an orange and I went and had a drainage massage. The lady showed me what to do and I did it twice a day. By the time I had my next check up (3 month) my consultant was surprised that it had completely gone. I did pay to have this done privately and I thing it was about £35 definitely no more and it was worth every penny. Hope this helps.

That sounds amazing. The nurse did tell me about lymphatic drainage, but not how to get it or where!! I wouldn't mind paying if it helped a bit.
