I have looked at so many videos on self-massage lymphedema
As I had Lumpectomy surgery on my left breast ,
And This is the best Self-Massage on video so far
Step by step with a lovely calm instruction
Thank you so very much 👍👍👍👍👍🇬🇧🇬🇧
I very much appreciate this video. this came out of nowhere for me and I'm in a foreign country so was scared and didn't know what to do. Your video calmed me and helped me help myself. Thanks again.
This is amazing, helping my hand and arm after elbow surgery.
So grateful for finding this video 🙏 ! Thank You! Two weeks after removing my right armpit nodes and not enough info to help ease my concerns provided by doctors or websites.
Thank you!! for this post,, I had a DMX in November and a second surgery in Dec and have been suffering with swelling. This video has really helped me with my chest/breast swelling and pain.
Thank you so much, this video is so helpful. 🌟👍🏽
Great video and so very helpful! Thank you!
I am very pleased with this video. I have a registered lymphatic massage therapist who gave me a printed self-massage instruction sheet . Your Video
Is more explicit and extremely helpful.
Thank you

Excellent video. I plan to watch it daily. Thanks
Great, useful and easy to follow! Thanks
Thank you so much for this video I think its the best that I've seen
thank you.....I've been looking for a new massage routine that addresses mid arm and elbow. I've been using it for 2 weeks. I like the long strokes on the arms rather than short circular strokes....makes sense to clear nodes more often. Will still have to order a III sleeve, but I am hopeful for a II by summer.

Thank you for sharing. Is there any video translated to Spanish? My mother-in-law found your video very useful, but she doesn't speak English and that'd be more than perfect for her.
OMG...this is the information that I have been looking for for almost a year now. Thank you so much!!!!!
Thanks a lot!
Thank you very much for this❤

I can't wait to do this thank you so much it is helping me with hypertension in my left arm I was wondering if this is happening because I injured my pinky and the ring finger I can't bend my pinky into a fist I wonder if I need to have my hand reset
Excellent therapy. Wish all patients were told about this.
I wish there was more therapist around and yes the ones I do know, I wish they would tell you everything you need to know and do what they supposed to do.
Doctors don’t know about it at all🤷♀️🤷♀️🙄🙄🙈🙈😫😫
I would like to know if there handouts or dvd
Excellent advice, thank you.
Thank you for sharing
thanks your video is very useful for me
How often (a day) should I do these techniques please?
Many Thanks
This is the best help with lymphedema that I’ve found after a mastectomy with sentinel node biopsy. I received a handout brochure for upper body gentle exercise of neck stretches, torso turns, and arms lifts and stretches as my therapy from my local PT department which made the lymphedema worse. I’ve had better success using your massage therapy and am much more comfortable.
Hi Elissa, did u have any lymph nodes removed as well?
@@mcs2776 hi i have done breast conservation surgery with axillary lymph nodes dissection just a week ago any advice for reducing risk of lymphedema
After some lymphnode removal should i be using my arm to do yard and house work
How often does this need to be done when you have a flare-up? Going through radiation.
Thank you. That was the first time I have ever seen that information on exercise. I love it.
Great Video and thank you for sharing. I recently had Breast Cancer, Lymphatic Surgery all my lymph nodes removed from my under armpit. What additional exercise can I do to avoid Lymphedema?
Hello, can my mother do how many times each day? Thanks
Is there any risk of spreading the hitherto undiagnosed recurrence of cancer ,especially from one breast to another when you stroke from one side to other??
Ho I am Kidney transplant patient. My right leg has lymphedema. And in my scrotal part. Is there any video for lower body lymphedema ?
I am a certified lymphedema therapist, physical therapist and massage therapist. There is no research I am aware of that asserts you can prevent lymphedema with manual lymph drainage. I also thinks it is a fantasy that you can will your body to make new lymphatic pathways via MLD. It can be useful for those who have lymphedema already.
Great video thank's!
Is there a way to download this video or is there a handout available? Great video.
you can download videos using software like Vdownloader
I had a double mastectomy. Are these exercises appropriate for this?
I am having my tonsils out and this should help me heal. Already feel better from a few days. At least I’m less inflamed. I haven’t felt well though
I had tonsil inflamed from having on Allergy to Cow Milk,and they sad Angina!
What if your "affected side" is also your "port side"?
Two nodes in the left upper arm, just above my elbow are swollen & sore.
My axillary lymph node on the left side was removed.
My Mediport is on the left side.
How do I do these?
Thank you for this video. I had bilateral mastectomy in April and have had lymphadema under one arm, because a lymph node was removed. None of my docs gave me info to relieve the fluid. It ended up around one breast and hindered me gettin a saline fill in expander. Just doing this twice has given me relief. I've seen difference in the puffiness as well. Should i just do this once a day? Thanks again!
Where can I get a handout or dvd
Anything for legs?
If the right arm is the affected limb can you still direct drainage towards the groin on the right side from the armpit?
I am not a professional but yes definitely. You need to direct it to your right groin lymph nodes
Can I get a handout?
Va rog vrei jn limba. romana
Will this massage pattern suit me as l have brachial neuropathy from radiation treatment ?
Help
Is it possible to get a copy of the patient handout for these exercises?
Ooops! Found the link: mercyhealthsystem.org/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/7128470selfmassage.pdf
Wish it had open captioned. I am Deaf.
If a patient practices some yoga additionally to the massage, what should be first, the exercises or the massage?
Would you recommend any particular kind of body lotion or oil when applying the massage?
How often should this massage be applied? Can the exercises with the thumb and elbow be repeated on a regular basis?
Thank you for your time and answers to my questions.
no reply ?
Her handout do mention don't put any oil or lotion when massage, so u can feel ur own skin better and won't pressing too hard. Her handout suggest do it daily
Can you have this above the Breast??I had a Lamp removed ones on my left side!And Years later I had one again there,they sad it’s Breast Cancer but small 2 cm.🤷♀️🤷♀️🙄🙄Maby it was a swollen Lymph???I don’t trust Doctors and had a Privat Insurance us he found the first Lamp!Now after Breast the OP I still have pain there,they sad it’s the Metall clamps in you chest 🙄🙄😳😳🤷♀️🤷♀️😢😢and have a Lyphproblem in my ankles
Is this exercise can be performed when Lymph nodes are removed or should perform with active lymph nodes?
I'm not a professional but as no one from the Mercy group seems to be answering. I would like to say that my lymphedema nurse told me that I should perform these exercises even though all my lymph nodes are removed I should massage under the armpit as well because there are other lymph nodes Around that armpit area
@@King6863able hi i have done breast conservation surgery with axillary lymph nodes dissection on left breast any advice for not getting lymphedema
Where can I get the handout
Karen Askins Has anyone responded to you?
My wife doesn't have Lymph nodes under her armpit, they were removed during breast cancer therapy - that is why she has Lymphedema . Does she just ignore that bit of the video?
Nice video, but I have yet to find one addressing "truncal lymphemda", this is what I have. Any recommendations??? Anyone???
Is the handout available for printing online?
+Judy Frost did you get a reply in regards to a handout?
