One of our future goals is to gain coverage for prescription shoes for lymphedema patients who are unable to wear standard, commercially available footwear.
If you are a patient who can only wear custom-made shoes due to your lymphedema swelling, we need your stories and photos! Therapists can also submit on behalf of their patients.
Please submit your story through our My Lymphedema Story submission form and send any photos to Stories@LymphedemaTreatmentAct.org. Important things to include are:
- Why are you (or your patient) unable to wear regular shoes?
- How does this affect your/their daily life, including the ability to work and care for self and family?
- When possible, please include photos of your/their feet, both with and without any shoes currently being used.
Thank you for your continued advocacy!
