Hi @summertime4, I know it can seem overwhelming sometimes but hopefully they will find something that helps with the lymphedema. I would keep asking questions and being your own best advocate. My lymphedema is primarily in my right leg and I wear compression socks which helps with the swelling during the daytime. At night when I take them off and am laying down it doesn't seem to swell since it's easier for the lymph fluids to be pumped up and out of the system from the feet/legs. I had thought about getting a pump for my leg to use at home when I'm working on my computer but the socks seem to be doing OK for now.

Can you can give us an update after your CAT scan and contrast? If I'm not mistaken the contrast part checks to see how the lymph fluids pass out of the body to see if there is any blockage.
