I am experiencing severe lymphedema after my mastectomy one year ago. I have had massage therapy and am now using a lymphedema pump. It is not helping. Does anyone have any other suggestions or remedies?

That's sad to hear. I'm keeping mine under control with pressure sleeve and glove. Have you tried watching your salt? I keep mine kind of low. My swells up too if I'm tired or use the arm for lugging heavy packages. I would thing that extended massage therapy would help. How many did you have? Debw0
