Lymphedema after radical prostate surgery: How to improve it?
Prostate Cancer | Last Active: 19 hours ago | Replies (5)Comment receiving replies
@maboyle369, I moved your question about leg lymphedema after radical prostatectomy to this existing discussion in the Prostate Cancer support group:
- Lymphedema after radical prostate surgery: How to improve it? https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/lymphedema-after-radical-prostate-surgery/
I did this in part to connect you with @ro_batista, whose father experience similar last year and to connect you with other prostate cancer patients.
Here are other discussions related to lymphedema in the legs, but not necessarily to prostate cancer: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/discussions/?search=leg%20lymphedema
It is so hard to have your activities limited by lymphedema. @maboyle369, have you seen a lymphedema therapist or clinic specializing in lymphedema?

Colleen, Ty for moving my post to the more appropriate place. I appreciate it!
My husband had a procedure yesterday at the interventional radiology at Yale where they sucked out 750ml lymphatic liquid from the lymphocele and put a catheter in his stomach to keep draining the liquid as it accumulates. He is feeling so much better already! Woohoo!
