What if both arms are at-risk of developing lymphedema?

0

When cancer related surgery to both breasts has occurred a patient may be at-risk of developing lymphedema in both arms known as bilateral lymphedema of the arms. The L-Dex device relies on the use of the unaffected (not at-risk) arm as a control measurement and therefore should not be used on this patient group.
