pray, Pray, and PRAY. I was told that the pressure caused by the lymphedema results in the soft muscle tissue surrounding the vessels to break off into fragments that irritates the Hell out of nearby nerves,; that there was no possible pharmaceutical treatment. Therefore, with hope and a pray: Tei Chi meditation and movement; Yoga but with toleration; abdominal breathing to move lymph - the abdominal region controls the lymph flow - obese, Lose the Weight; obesity counter productive to any and all means of pain control. See a vein doctor for Compression socks - will need exact correct measurements and pressure amount of mgH - wear them as instructed - requires adjustment(s). Lastly, a God Send, ZERO Gravity Chair with full body air bags - not cheap - go Amazon to break cost up into reasonable payments; make sure that it can be shipped to your address! For me, no luck. I live in Alaska, but I am determined. A zero gravity chair makes sense in that the lymph flow is redistributed to level off, plus the chair comes with built in Bluetooth which will help with relaxation / refousing away from the pain (Taibetan singing bowels, Hand pan drum, ect.). Any suggestion(s) for me. Mine is chronic, relentless, and at times unbearable pain. Hana, Anchorage, AK
