Elevating the voices of men with lymphedema: Finding trousers (and treatment) that fit Talking to Josh, Michael, Angus, and Steve about the trial-and-error that comes along with living with lymphedema. BY  ALEXA ERCOLANO SEPTEMBER 14, 2017 “As a long time lymphedema victim, I have never met any other victims, nor have I heard from any other men in forums,” wrote Alan  in a Facebook comment . “I find it quite depressing.
