How Can Lymphedema Precox Be Treated?
Hi I was diagnosed with lymphademia precox. it has spread from my left leg to my other leg and is spreading to my arms. Heat and being outside makes it worse, but I live in FL year round. the condition is getting worse and worse. I was diagnosed at 16 and have had the condition 12 years now. it takes longer for my legs to drain of fluid (4+ hours or longer) and it gets to the point where my clothes won t fit. what else can I do to help my condition?
