My hand is swollen due to a removal of lymph nodes after breast cancer (lymph edema). Which specialized doctor can teach me how to do manual lymph exercises?
Jun 20, 2014

Dr. Ghassan Nawfal Surgery
A good physiotherapist (best to seek one in a university setting) knows the proper exercises and preventive instructions that help patients with lymphedema avoid excessive swelling of their arms and the complications that may result from such a condition. Physiotherapists sometimes coordinate their treatment plans with the general surgeon who performed the operation.
