- Title
Overcoming lymphorrhoea: a step to achieve a better life with lymphoedema.
- Authors
Ramadan, Francesca
- Abstract
Lymphorrhoea--otherwise known as 'wet' or 'leaky' legs--is an increasingly common condition that many community nurses will encounter in their daily practice; however, until relatively recently, evidence-based literature on its management was limited, and treatment modalities only tackled the symptoms instead of addressing the cause. In this article, Francesca Ramadan highlights the devastating impact of this condition, and the resources available to community practitioners to assist their patients to live well with lymphoedema.
