My mom was recently diagnosed with Lymphedema and I don't know how to help.

Hi Everyone,

I am totally new to this community so I am sorry if I don't know the right words to say what I want to say. I am 19 years old and about to go back to university but my mom recently got diagnosed with Lymphedema. One of her legs is noticeably larger than the other and she's been in a lot of pain. She was also diagnosed with arthritis recently as well.

She has been waiting for a physical therapist but she is on a few waitlists. I am getting very concerned because she has been very upset. I've found her crying a lot recently and I feel so bad and I don't know how to help. She's been to the ER several times. She is in a lot of pain. She hasn't been getting much sleep also. She still goes to work every day and comes home and cooks dinner and stuff but I can see she's feeling horrible. Also she's recently had terrible pins and needles in her leg which is causing her to panic and sleep even less.

I don't know what advice I can give her or what we can try. I know she bought compression socks online and she wears them from morning to before bed. Sometimes she massages the area herself. Sometimes she ices it. I think she's been taking NSAIDs which I read might be making it worse but any input would be appreciated. Anything you guys think I can have her try or any advice on getting on this quickly is so appreciated from you.

Sorry again if I am not vocalizing this the correct way, I am just trying to help out my mom. Wishing everyone the best :)

Suddenly Not Compliant in Immunizations

Like 2 weeks ago it said I was not compliant because I hadn't filled out the heath questionnaire and I didn't get the tuberculosis test for clinical students. I am not a clinical student and my questionnaire is filled out. I used the chat to send a message 2 weeks ago, and sent another one a day ago and still haven't received any messages back. Is anyone else having a problem or have any insight. This is my 2nd year here btw.

Health Insurance still on term bill

I filled out the waiver the day the term bills came out and I still have not seen it leave my bill. In previous semesters it was gone within a day or two but it's been 6 days and I still see it on my bill. Is anybody else having this problem? I also reached out to OneStop but haven't heard back yet.
