Physical Therapy for Lymphedema

Lymphedema is an abnormal accumulation of lymph fluid between the skin and muscles of the body after the lymphatic system has been damaged. The accumulation of lymph fluid in the affected area causes swelling.
Causes of Lymphedema
  • Injury, scarring, radiation or excision of lymph nodes
  • Repeated infections
  • Paralysis with dependent limb position
Symptoms of Lymphedema
  • Dull ache in the affected limb
  • Feeling of tightness in the skin
  • Difficulty moving a limb, bending at the joint because of swelling and tightness
  • Pitting – small indentation left on the skin after pressure is applied
  • Shoes, rings, or watches suddenly fit too tightly

Lymphedema causes swelling with a feeling of heaviness and tightness, usually in the arm or leg. In most cases, only one arm or leg is affected. Swelling in the leg usually begins in the foot and then moves up to the ankle and knee.
