Abstract
Lymphoedema is a chronic condition that causes swelling, pain, altered appearance and reduced mobility. Little is known about the psychosocial effects. This review aims to identify psychosocial aspects of living with non-cancer-related lymphoedema, as such information is not readily available to healthcare professionals or patients.
