Lymphedema Specialist

Hello - I'm hoping somebody out there might be able to recommend a good lymphedema specialist in north Chicago?

I've had really bad luck with the last one who basically told me that there is nothing I can do about the permanent fluid swelling I have in my left leg.  But I've been talking to others and reading online that there are wraps, compression garments and some massage that could possibly help.  I would love to see if these options might work for me.

Thanks.

Dear Lymphedemahelp, We do not have the information in order to give recommendations for the type of specialist you are looking for.  You may want to check with the larger academic centers in the Chicago area asking whether they have a lymphedema clinic associated with their facility.
