Hello all I came here to get some info. I had cervical cancer and had a radical hysterectomy with a dissection of the lymphoid in the groin area. then I had to do 6 weeks of chemo and radiation. now my lymphoid's don't drain properly and I was told to do some physical therapy I swell up daily and even if I do the exercises I still swell up from light house work I believe I need to go find a specialist to see whats going wrong. the physical therapist had to look on the internet to teach me how to so the rubbing exercises to Deswell myself but I am getting frustrated the oncologist said this is something I will have to live with for the rest of my life. I was wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

Hello. I had a therapy session with a certified lymphedema specialist. She showed me how to use a roll bar for arm exercises. Laying with the foam bar under my back (long way the same direction as my spine) I could do arm exercises to loosen the tightness under my left arm. Does anyone else with upper extremity edema from breast surgery use one of these? I might want to buy one, but I was wondering if anyone here uses one. Thanks.
