Hi @eirrol -- I've had lymphedema massage many, many times. It was part of my physical therapy treatment after two different breast cancer surgeries. After lymph nodes are removed, you can be left with fluid build up from the lymphatic system not draining properly. Fluid building causes swelling and discomfort. With lymphedema massage, the physical therapist very gently massages skin to push the fluid along through the lymphatic system. I have neuropathy that can make touch very painful, but this was very relaxing it is so gentle. I'd have it every day if I could. A regular massage is excruciatingly painful to me. If you have fluid buildup, you might want to check into lymphedema massage. Your doctor would have to write an order for it. Hope you feel better soon. Lori
