Anyone have experience with this and how are you treating it? Also what things don't work? Lymphoedema (lymphedema-USA spelling) can be localized or show up in several places. I hope that yours is localized and can be treated effectively. Can you stop taking the medication that is causing it? Depending on the amount of swelling, make sure you take very good care of your skin. For those who aren't familiar with edemas of all kinds - the narcotics we take, along with a myriad of other medications, can cause edemas. Here's an excellent Canadian site (pdf) with information on the most common cause of Lymphoedema and regular edemas. http://www.lymphovenous-canada.ca/medseffectlymphedema09.pdf Lyndi Moderator Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
