Can drinking water help with lymphedema or is it not recommended??

It helps! The way I understand it, staying well hydrated helps to dilute the lymph fluid and keep it moving. Taking some time throughout the day to do some deep abdominal breathing helps too. Both those strategies are free and non-invasive, and we don't even need a prescription -- love it!;)
