Lymphedema Management: An Essential Guide to Living with Lymphedema - Understanding the Cause, Recognizing Symptoms, Learning to Manage, and Identifying Treatment & Therapy Options

Lymphedema is a disease characterized by a swelling in the limbs and certain other body parts due to a condition in one’s lymphatic system. Because there is no cure, it can be easy for people diagnosed with the condition to think there is simply nothing they can do. The fact is, although it can't be altogether cured, Lymphedema and its symptoms can certainly be successfully managed. That said, for some people with Lymphedema, going to a doctor to manage symptoms is simply too costly, so they choose to do nothing. I hope to help you change that mindset throughout the course of this book. I would like to show you that, if you or your loved one has Lymphedema, there is always something you can do to better your health without necessarily spending a great deal of money. Of course you will still need to involve your doctor; I certainly wouldn’t suggest that you substitute this book for medical attention and personalized advice from your doctor. However, I would like to show you that there are many things you can do, from diet to exercise modifications to at-home therapies, to help manage lymphedema so you can live life to the fullest without anything holding you back.
