    Anyone been told that they would not be able to wear compression garments? I was told my lymphedema is not manageable unless I wrap. I have been wrapped twice now in the past 6 months. My swelling is constant. I do the pump, I exercise, I massage, tried a different clinic. But, if I remove the wrap I swell. I DO NOT want to walk around the rest of my life with "mummy arm".

    Hello Moonbeam and welcome. So sorry to hear about your lymphedema; that sucks so bad. I have no experience with it but I thought I'd mention that there is an entire section of the forum that is totally lymphedema posts, treatment, etc. So check it out... maybe someone can recommend something.
