• Swelling of part or all of your arm or leg (including fingers and toes), trunk, breast, genitals, head, or neck
• Heavy or tight feeling
• Limited ability of movement
• Discomfort or aching
• Infections that won’t go away

Managing your symptoms

While there is no known cure for lymphedema, some symptoms can be controlled.
