Hi I'm sorry for all having to deal with this. I was diagnosed , 4 months ago. I am over weight. My ankles and feet along with my lower legs are extremely huge due to the lymphedema. I just started using a machine that I put my legs into and uses pressure to move the fluid. Any suggestions to receive the excruciating pain in my feet and legs. It stabbing and piercing. I know to elevate them. I get to the point, like right now, were I can't take it. I've never had cancer. (I am truly sorry for those who have it AND the lymph) I wish I had positive comment to say but I don't know how to stop a sudden onset of this. Any information would be awesome

Have you tried an Epsom Salt bath or foot soak? I know people who say it helps with their leg pain. I don't know if it would help with lymphedema or not.
