I have lymphedema. I also have tennis elbow in the same arm. I am wearing a band right now but so far am not seeing any results, other than maybe making my arm swell more. Should I stop wearing a band? What other things should I try? My elbow is really hurting bad.

No don't put anything on your arm . get in touch with a lymphedema specialist. They will have to measure your arm and get you a compression sleeve. I've had lymphedema for years tons of different compression sleeves. Custom sleeves i have a thrapist come to my house once a month for therapy. It's terrible I've had cellulitis at least 5 times. Still trying to get it under control there is no cure . so not only do you deal with bc then you get the lymphedema . It's been terrible
