: Has anyone heard of lymphadema? A friend of mine has this and is having trouble finding treatment because it's so rare. Any suggestions??
I WAS DIAGNOSED YESTERDAY WITH THIS PROBLEM. I AM 49 AND HAVE HAD LYMPHADEMA SINCE I WAS A TEENAGER. THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I HAVE HEARD THIS NAME PUT TO IT. WE HAVE, IN SHREVEPORT, THE ONLY CLINIC THAT TREATS LYMPHADEMA IN THE STATE OF LOUISIANA. I UNDERSTAND THE TREATMENT IS MANUAL MASSAGE AND AN ASIAN TREATMENT. I AM GOING TO THE CLINIC SOON AND WILL FOLLOW UP ON THE RESULTS. I HAVE SEEN BEFORE AND AFTER PHOTOS AND I AM IMPRESSED.
