Lymphedema is a chronic condition in which excess fluid builds up in the lymphatic system, causing swelling in the arms and legs. It is most commonly caused by damage or removal of lymph nodes or vessels, such as during cancer treatment or infection. Common symptoms of lymphedema include swelling, heaviness, pain, and tightness in the affected limb. Treatment options include compression garments, manual lymphatic massage, and exercise. It is important to take precautions to prevent infection in the affected limb, such as avoiding cuts and scrapes, protecting the limb from extreme temperatures, and avoiding tight clothing. A medical alert bracelet indicating which arm was affected can help to insure that EMS personnel will not place a blood pressure cuff on the affected arm.
