      ab: Lymphoedema is a common problem affecting at least 100 000 people in the United Kingdom. There is a lack of knowledge among healthcare professionals regarding lymphoedema and this has led to the condition often not being recognized early enough or being adequately managed. Lymphoedema is an incurable condition which will progress if it is not appropriately treated. Physical problems associated with lymphoedema may include pain, discomfort, heaviness of the limb and distortion in limb shape and size leading to reduced mobility and function. This has implications for lymphoedema patients who may experience a significant reduction in their quality of life because of this condition. Treatment, if commenced early, is straightforward and patients can be taught to carry out an effective programme of daily self-care. If, on the other hand, the lymphoedema is not recognized early or not properly treated, it can develop into a serious and highly debilitating condition.
