test

There comes a time in every Lymphedema patient’s life when one feels the need for a friendly shoulder to lean on and reliable advice. Lymphedema blogs are a great way to connect with your friends online “who have been there and overcome all”.

Lymphedema, as you would now be familiar from our previous lymphedema blog posts, is a severe inflammatory condition post radiation therapy, mastectomy or lumpectomy where lymph nodes are irreversibly damaged and lymphatic fluid accumulates in the surrounding areas like arms and legs.

The plethora of instructions regarding the do’s and don’ts of lymphedema can be mind-boggling for some patients and they may feel bogged down with the onslaught of instructions along with the restrictions on their daily day-to-day activities.

Lymphedema blogs hence provide a good platform to lymphedema patients for interaction with fellow lymphic people and sound guidance by lymphedema therapists and doctors.

These lymphedema blogs often have inspiring testimonies or real-life stories by other lymphedema patients in their own words about their struggle with lymphedema and eventual improvement in their conditions, thereby leading normal and happy lives like before.

Following is a list of top lymphedema blogs that would help you stay connected with your friends and lymphdema specialists and that too just a mouse click away!
