“…The size difference of limbs makes daily life difficult and also might be disfiguring for the patient [27,28]. Lower limb lymphedema also has been reported to negatively impact physical activity and to be associated with sleep disturbances which reduce the quality of sleep and QoL [29,30]. The role of pain in distressing QoL is well-documented in the literature and depression and anxiety disorders are clinically important comorbidities among lymphedema patients [31].…”

Different causes have been described for secondary lymphedema as reported in this article. A 75-year-old man was diagnosed with lymphedema about one decade after saphenous harvesting for coronary artery bypass surgery. It took two years for him to find out his diagnosis and receive the proper treatment. After standard complete decongestive therapy, his volume and pain decreased and his quality of life was improved, especially its physical aspect. It is important to recognize the possibility of lymphedema development after saphenous harvesting among patients undergoing coronary artery bypass surgery to prevent significant disturbance of quality of life with timely management.

“…The association between sleep deprivation and lymphedema is further highlighted by a scoping review of seven clinical trials examining sleep disturbance in cancer survivors. Cancer survivors with lymphedema had an increased incidence of sleep disorders, such as insomnia, compared to those without lymphedema [82]. Lymphedema patients should be evaluated for sleep disorders, including sleep apnea, as early identification and treatment can greatly improve sleep and lead to better adherence to lymphedema self-care practices [81].…”

Lymphedema, a chronic incurable condition characterized by edema, inflammation, reactive fibrosis, adipose proliferation, and compromised immune function, affects over 250 million people worldwide [1]. Further, a comorbidity of obesity increases the risk of developing lymphedema and can result in irreversible damage to lymphatic function. Access to appropriate and timely lymphedema treatment, performance of proper self-management strategies, and implementation of healthy lifestyle practices are critical for optimal outcomes for those affected. It is vitally important that a healthy lifestyle program for patients diagnosed with lymphedema include strategies for addressing both lymphedema and weight management. In this paper, we describe the essential elements of a successful program for lymphedema and weight management: ketogenic nutrition, exercise, stress resilience, and sleep.
