Sheila and Lani, Thanks for the heads up. I will take this information with me to my pt. nothing can be easy for us you know.... I goggled: lymphedema and olecranon bursitis : and immobilize, ice and wrap were the only treatments I could find. breastcancer.org and lymphedema.org didn't have anything about it. .. or I couldn't find anything. I talked to my PT on the phone earlier and she said a lot of her girls who go with out their sleeves and sleep with their elbow bent get fluid on their elbow. She did say, remember you never want to have a needle in that arm. I maybe remember hitting my elbow now… maybe it is from trauma. My PT is the local expert with a MA specializing in lymphedema…I am just stopping by for a look-see visit. …lets see if she has seen anything like this.
Sheila and Lani you are wonderful!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Big cyber hug!!!
Be back in a few hours..
Blessings to all

1 Corinthians 10:13 "No temptation has seized you except what is common to man. And God is faithful; he will not let you be tempted beyond what you can bear. But when you are tempted, he will also provide a way out so that you
can stand up under it."
