Thanks for another informative vlog Chantel. Things are done so differently in the uk, I’ve just been given a compression sleeve and leaflet with exercises to do and have to go back to the hospital every six months to get measured. I will be asking on my next visit why wrapping has not been mentioned. Can I ask if you’ve ever tried acupuncture? as I’ve read that this can help the lymphatic system as long as it’s not done on the affected arm

Hi Alison, I am sorry you are experiencing lymphedema, and thankful you found this video helpful. Compression garments are typically used to maintain your current size and to help prevent swelling. Lymphatic massage and wrapping can be used [together or separate] to help reduce swelling. It would be good to ask your team about both of these during your next visit. I have not used acupuncture. You would not want to do it in your lymphedema arm, but potentially in the lymph areas nearby … Collarbone, abdomen, groin. Another good question for your team. I wish you all the best, and sending you much love! If I can help in any way, please reach out! 🥰💕💕
