Patricia Chapman → Andrew Solmssen: Hi Andrew: My Name is Patricia Chapman, I too have lymphedema in my below my knees, I have found that if I wear some sock's that go up to the knees or just below that relives the itch, as much as it can be. Thought I would pass this along to you and others

I do want to tell you the first pair of wraps didn't have that understocking and they were so itchy but since I got this one , the itch isnt so bad that is a relief. my computer crashed I had to get another one and that put me behind in everything so it will be awhile that I can get the other wrap. how is everyone??

Patricia ChapmanI just ordered some new leggings but only one, as I dont have the money for the pair even tho both legs are affected. now I have to decided which leg is the worst to put my new one on when it comes. and I hope it fits. my first time ordering.

Patricia, off the shelf stockings made by Juzo come in pairs so essentially you get two for one. Although the size of one leg may be different you may still find that the one size of a pair provides good support to both since they adapt in girth...

LC is a great place to post questions or just drop a note to let everyone know what you are going through, what your doing in treatment, what garments you may be using or to meet other people with the same concerns. Support in any form is a wonderful thing.

Question for the experts: I have lymphedema in my leg and will be going to a resort/spa next week where I intend to enjoy a Swedish massage. Is there any problem and/or danger with having my leg massaged?
