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
