Spring has sprung, and the April Lymphedema Patient Roundtable was buzzing with questions from attendees on topics ranging from tips for donning garments, managing swelling after knee replacement surgery, and mobility aids for lower extremity lymphedema. Plus, Amanda Sobey gave an exciting recap of the Lymphedema Association of Manitoba's celebrations — and wins — during Lymphedema Awareness Month.
What's the difference between compression garments, bandages, and wraps? Can we use hot tubs if we have lymphedema? And how do you deal with a doctor who won't listen to you about your lymphedema? The hour flew by as panelists discussed these questions and more alongside those chiming in in the live chat to share their own experiences and insights. Regular attendee Fenton Groff summed it up best: "Walk a mile in our lymphedema shoes for one hour... and you will obtain years of education."
A special thank-you to our panelists this month:
