[QUOTE="Alexandra100, post: 2175530, member: 429870"] Hello [USER=497550]@Quinn1066[/USER], I suffer from mild lymphoedema in my right leg. I had one very scary episode when my leg swelled up so much, it looked like elephantiasis. It has never quite gone back to what it was, but especially in cold weather and when I manage to exercise it is not gross. I wonder if you have been seen at your local NHS Lymphoedema clinic? I found mine very helpful. They showed me how to self-massage and gave me compression stockings and a particularly helpful compresion wrap which I used whenever I was at home all through the summer. I found out about this clinic myself and asked my GP to refer me. Like most people in the world she was convinced people only suffer from lymphoedema due to cancer and/or cancer treatments. This is not the case. Well worth a try if you have not already seen them. [/QUOTE]
