    I have this for my left arm and chest. It really helps. I would recommend it - if- your therapist or doctor recommends it. And follow all directions and if any questions then ask!! I’m on Medicaid and it paid for it for me. I’m so glad I tried it!!

    I got my unit and it cost about $1,000 new. However, shortly afterwards I had to have bowel surgery and I developed symptoms about like having irritable bowel syndrome. When I have to go, I have very little time to fool about in trying to get out oof such a suit setup. I didn't want to ruin the thing by having a diarrhea accident when encased in the thing. It would be like trying to get off a Hazmat suit when in a house fire. I ended up not using it with less than 4 times of use. Can't complain that is didn't do the job effectively, but just saying it remains a difficult suit to get out of and you better have all the room to put the machinery on, as there is a big amount of hoses and the machine itself to contend with. It is heavy and cumbersome when all put together.

    It's extremely difficult to get on and off - especially if you're retaining fluid - and doesn't help as much as the LymphaPress.

    It is like a massage machine right? Not so risky?
