Let’s talk about lymphedema this awareness month. Here’s what to know.
Lymphedema is swelling caused by a buildup of lymph fluid when the lymphatic system is damaged or blocked. It often affects the arms or legs 💙 and caregivers may notice swelling, tightness, or changes in the size of a limb.
Early signs can be subtle. Feelings of heaviness, tight skin, or reduced movement in the arm or leg may be early indicators ✨ Management focuses on controlling swelling through approaches like compression garments, manual lymphatic drainage, exercise, and proper skin care.
If you or someone you care for notices persistent swelling, it’s best to seek professional guidance early 🤝 Send us a message or contact our team to schedule an evaluation 📩
