Conservative care treatment for lymphedema may include use of compression, manual lymphatic drainage (MLD, performed either by a therapist or self-MLD), exercises and skin care. Subjects presenting to a vein clinic (Center for Vein Restoration or CVR) with lymphedema of the lower extremity/ies may receive a standard-of-care prescription for conservative care or for the Flexitouch Plus pneumatic compression device along with conservative care. Subjects will be followed (by phone and in clinic) for 12 months after initiating treatment for venous- and lymphedema-related complications, unscheduled visits, changes in quality of life measures and edema measures, skin changes, and changes to wounds (if present).
