Lymphedema is swelling caused by a buildup of lymph fluid, often in the arms or legs. It commonly occurs after lymph node removal, cancer treatment, or damage to the lymphatic system.

What are the early signs of lymphedema?

Early signs include swelling, heaviness, tightness, reduced flexibility, and clothing or jewelry feeling tighter than usual.

How is lymphedema treated?

Lymphedema treatment includes compression garments, manual lymphatic drainage, compression pumps, exercise, and proper skin care to manage swelling and prevent progression.

Do I need to wear compression every day?

Most patients benefit from daily compression to control swelling, improve comfort, and prevent lymphedema from worsening.

Does insurance cover compression garments?

Many insurance plans, including Medicare, may cover compression garments for lymphedema with proper documentation and a prescription. Coverage varies by plan.
