Thank you very much for this interesting information regarding the diagnosis of the different illnesses. In which of the cases you just described would there be an improvement with mechanical lymphatic drainage. I do live in Germany and we have a very good device (lympha-mat gradient 300) which mesures the exact compression.
Mechanical Lymphatic Drainage helps both lymphedema and lipedema.
