Lymphedema Tracker

Swelling can make a familiar day feel hard to describe. When you are juggling limb measurements, compression and the rest of life, remembering every detail adds another task. Lymphedema Tracker gives you a lymphedema diary for symptoms, care routines and the numbers you want to bring to your next appointment.

Keep a record of leg swelling or arm swelling (edema), whether your lymphedema (lymphoedema) is new or long-standing, and the care routines already agreed with your team. Keep daily observations together, whether you are starting a journal or adding detail to an established routine.

SWELLING IN YOUR OWN WORDS
Put what you notice beside the day it happened:
• Log swelling in hands, feet or legs, pain and tenderness.
• Record a symptom value and its start and end times.
• Describe swollen ankles, heaviness, tight skin or changes in how clothing fits in your journal.
• Note the affected side and what felt different during ordinary tasks.

LEFT AND RIGHT LIMB MEASUREMENTS
Keep the location and unit with each limb measurement:
• Enter left and right ankle circumference in cm.
• Record left and right calf circumference in cm.
• Add left and right upper arm circumference in cm.
• Use journal notes for the measuring point, time and any context you want to remember.
• Refer back to dated entries when discussing your measurements.

COMPRESSION AND CARE ROUTINES
Keep a record of the routine your care team gave you:
• Log compression garments, such as sleeves or stockings, and compression bandaging as care entries.
• Record manual lymphatic drainage (MLD) sessions already in your plan.
• Keep skin care and exercise program entries with the day they happened.
• Write garment details, hours worn or a change in routine in your journal.
• Add questions about fit or comfort for your next visit.

MOVEMENT AND EVERYDAY CONTEXT
A measurement is only part of a day:
• Log activities you chose to record, alongside your symptom entries.
• Note a walk, work shift, journey, hot weather or long period of sitting in your journal.
• Describe tasks that felt difficult and the help you used.

MEDICATIONS AND PERSONAL NOTES
Bring medicine records into the same daily account:
• Log medications and the details you enter for each dose.
• Set a medication reminder for the doses already in your routine.
• Use a journal note for a change discussed at an appointment.

PHOTOS THAT KEEP THEIR CONTEXT
Add a visual record to your lymphedema journal:
• Attach a photo to a dated journal entry.
• Describe the limb, side and what you wanted to capture in the entry text.
• Write about skin appearance or garment marks in the accompanying note.
• Keep the photo with your words, rather than a camera roll full of unexplained images.

A SWELLING HISTORY YOU CAN REVISIT
Find the entries you want to discuss:
• Review logs as a chronological list or grouped by tracker.
• Search your Timeline and apply filters to focus the record.
• Use the date range to look back at a particular stretch of days.
• Export your selected logs as CSV with Premium for a conversation with your care team.

Start with one symptom, one measurement or a note about today's routine. Build a lymphedema log that reflects your experience, with the details you want to remember in one place.
