AB  - This  condition  is  usually  caused  by  decreased  capacity  of  the  lymphatic  system  to  maintain  normal  flow  of  lymphatic  fluids.  The  most  common  causes  of  lymphedema  are  invasive  procedures  and  surgical  resection  of  tissues  for  the  treatment  of  cancer.  Severity  progresses  in  three  stages  (see  following).  Clients  with  this  condition  are  unable  to  use  their  affected  extremities  in  a  normal  manner,  limiting  their  daily  activities  and  ability  to  participate  in  recreational  activities.1  Clients  with  advanced  stages  of  lymphedema  will  need  a  comprehensive  treatment  program  to  manage  their  condition.
