In search of Lympedema pump

I'm trying to find a lymphedema pump for my left arm. Insurance is denying the pump and my physical therapist says I need one. You have to love the insurance companies. I need at least 6 hoses if not more to pump the fluid up my arm. If anyone has information for me on this please let me know. I tried craig's list and there was nothing. I hope I will have more luck on here. Thanks everyone!

While even I am lymphedema patient for 1 year now
I do not have information about pump. My lymphedema therapist believes that manual drainage and wrapping are the most effective ways to keep it under control.
Sorry, I cannot help.
Good luck,

Thank you everyone for your
Thank you everyone for your responses. I have been taught to do the message therapy at home by my therapist but unfortunately I have a lot of fluid and need a pump to try to remove it faster for relief. I have 3 compression sleeves and 3 hand compression gloves.0 -

Did you try freecycle in your area? You also might try E-bay. Just a few suggestions. Good luck.0 -

I also have lymphedema but it is controlled with the sleeve and gauntlet and manual drainage massage. Have you tried googling?. When I was looking for surgical supply companies online that sold the sleeves, I went to the manufacturers of the sleeves websites and googled the item leading to a list of places that supply them both online and locally. Have you contacted the National Lymphedema Association? Perhaps they could be helpful in finding the pump for you.
