Clarification to previous post. Having Lymphedema is not required to participate in this study
Dr. Mei Fu of NYU is recruiting participants for a study on Lymphedema and pain after breast cancer surgery. You do not need to have Lymphedema to participate in this study.
Information on study.
I am writing to ask for your help! We are still needing 90 patients for our study on pain after breast cancer treatment. As long as patients have pain, soreness, aching, tenderness in their affected body side or limb 3 months after surgery, they are eligible for the study. The study will have two different upper body exercises and the patients will be in the study for 3 months. They will receive $100 after the study.

YouTube Presentation How to Find a Qualified Lymphedema Therapist
YouTube of Dr. Judith Nudelman's presentation on How to Find a Qualified Lymphedema Therapist made in conjunction with Lymphatic Education and Research Network
About
Dr. Judith Nudelman is a Board Certified family medicine physician who combines clinical work with medical student education, and is a clinical associate professor of family medicine at Brown University. She received her MD from University of Pittsburgh and her BA from University of Michigan, and did her residency in Family Medicine at Brown University. Her interest in lymphedema stems from personal experience and her subsequent discovery of widespread lack of knowledge of both the condition of lymphedema and its treatment, and her inability to discover a physician who was capable of or interested in managing the condition. Her goal is to provide education and information about lymphedema and to work to encourage physicians to manage the condition in their patients. She is a CLT (certified lymphedema therapist), and served on the board of directors of the Lymphology Association of America. She has written textbook chapters and articles on lymphedema, and lectures on the subject.

Tomorrow marks Lymphedema Awareness Day, which provides the opportunity to share personal stories and learn more about new strategies to manage this condition. Lymphedema is the swelling and inflammation caused by fluid buildup from damage to the lymph nodes. Although it often occurs in the arms and legs, it can happen anywhere in the body, after treatment from any type cancer.
Dr. Judith Nudelman’s story is compelling. Not only is she a family physician and Certified Lymphedema Therapist, but she also has personal experience with this topic. She developed lymphedema after treatment for breast cancer.
Speaking as both a patient and expert, she offers clinical advice and provides insight on coping strategies from personal experience, such as finding support in an online forum. Some people have said that there is no treatment for lymphedema. Dr. Nudelman clarifies that “nothing could be further from the truth.”
