First, they can help integrate lymphedema and infection reduction adaptations into your activities of daily living, leisure and business activities. Many clinics offer free monthly lymphedema support groups for education and peer support. Bug bites, nicks from rose bush thorns, or airplane flights can trigger lymphedema or an infection, but sleeves and gloves can keep an avid gardener gardening; and compression sleeves can keep a business woman flying the friendly skies.
