Low level light therapy, physiotouch and MLD

Can anyone give me some advice. Thanks

Hi Maxwell3, sorry I don’t know the answer to your question as I haven’t heard of this treatment. If it’s been recommended by the lympheodema nurse or breast clinic it should surely be safe? You could post this in the ‘Ask a nurse’ section here? I have breast lympheodema after radiotherapy and was referred to the local lympheodema service. The specialist nurse advised properly supportive bras, showed me some simple lymphatic drainage massage (but I found it tricky) and that I should start Nordic walking or aqua aerobics. I chose the Nordic walking, did a course and am still walking with a lovely group of people 3 years later! The walking technique definitely helped and I’ve managed to control it mainly with that. Apart from one flare up of possible cellulitis it’s mainly behaved itself. But mine is considered ‘mild’, I don’t know about your situation. 
Could you phone your breast clinic and ask advice there? It’s clearly a worry for you and you need reassurance that it’s the right treatment. Hope you get some answers this week, love and hugs, HFxx 

• Thank you so much for your reply. It definitely stopped my head from spinning. I am going to contact my oncologist today. I am also going to look in to the Nordic walking too. 
  Thank you again for your reply. Wishing you all the best on your journey. X
