About Lymphedema
Lymphedema is swelling caused by obstruction or damage in the lymph drainage system. It sometimes occurs naturally and sometimes is secondary to trauma (such as a fall, cancer, surgery, etc.)
It is an abnormal accumulation of lymph fluid between the skin and muscles of the body that causes swelling, most often in the arm(s) and/or leg(s), and occasionally in other parts of the body. Lymphedema can occur when lymphatic vessels are missing or impaired (primary), or when lymph vessels are damaged or lymph nodes are removed (secondary).
Here are some of the most common reasons for lymphedema:
Post cancer
Chronic venous insufficiency
Orthopedic edema
The lymphatic system can be overloaded in some injuries leading to edema problems
