My mother has had secondary lymphadema for about ten years, she also has primary in the other leg. Massage and compression bandaging has not helped and she is now in constant pain and wears body stockings. The side effects with other related illnesses are horrendous. I have now found out my infant son has lymphadema in his right foot. There are many web sites dealing with the deatails but no cure. Places such as the Tasmanian Lymphodema clinic in Australia have had success with laser.
: : : : 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 am a physical therapist in PA. I am trained in treatment of Lymphadema. If you still need help, contact me and let me know the region you are in and i will try to help you locate a facility.
