Lymphedema: the mainstay of treatment is use of a compression stocking starting from the foot and going up to the area just below the knee. Adjunctive therapies will include manual lymphatic decongestion (MLD) which Provided by physical therapists. Both of these therapies will cause increase in the diameter of collateral lymph channels to allow more rapid fluid re-return back towards the heart.
