Default Lymphedema

Here is my story. I'm a stage 3 breast cancer survivor. I had 5 months of chemo and a bilateral mastectomy in November. I'm currently going through reconstruction. Here is the question. I have developed lymphedema in my left hand and fingers. The lymphedema therapist I went to was useless. The medical supply store that ordered a gauntlet and sleeve made it worse as it made the fingers much worse. I've been researching about wrapping and have been doing it and wearing a 3/4 finger glove during the day. It's helping quite a bit. But I can't be the only one going through this. Any pointers or suggestions.....
