I too have lymphedema. I use a compression sleeve. I recently had trigger finger surgery on that arm and the swelling will not go down. I had the surgery January 24th. I am still in OT. I just saw the doctor and I have 6 more weeks of OT. I can not make a closed fist or straighten the two fingers out. Now they are talking about a compression garnment for my had. My lymphedema specialist taught me some yoga too.

Hi Leen! I have lymphedema in my left arm. I used a compression sleeve/glove and did yoga. It really made the swelling go down a lot. Take care!

Thank you Robyn! Your information is very helpful. I do MLD twice a day and wear compression 24/7, but I am interested in trying some new things. You gave me 3 suggestions! Yesterday I spent time in a swimming pool——saw some improvement today. Hooray!

Thank you Denise59. I use compression too, but didn’t know yoga would help. I will try it. Good luck to you!
