I am using lymphedema massage and compression bandaging. The left leg is responding well and has both circumferential decrease as well as a more patent skin feel. However, her right leg has increased swelling. I THINK that I have read that during lymphedema treatment, contralateral swelling may happen but I can't find the reference. Can anyone comment on the occurrence of contralateral swelling during lymphedema treatment? Thanks, Ron C. -- Unsubscribe?
