Chronic Health Conditions Discussion and Support

I am so sorry you are having this horrible problem.

Have you recently had cancer surgery?

I had lymphedema in my right arm 12 years ago due to cancer surgery. I can attest to the pain, it’s a beast. I had to wear a compression sleeve and take antibiotics. Also I was sent for physical therapy where they put my arm in a machine that draws the fluid out, sort of massages it out. It was a slow, ongoing process, but finally it got better. I think after about 2 months? Give or take.

I hope you are in contact with a doctor or other professional who can help you. Hang in there... I’ll keep good thoughts for you ...this is one heck of a time to have any kind of chronic health problem. I curse these dastardly Republicans and our complicated for profit healthcare system every day.
