Five years later,I have developed lymphedema in my right forearm about 2 months ago. It's what they say is a mild case but it's definately swollen and my hand swells. I am doing therapy, purchased the newest, hot off the line, just FDA approved compression pump and have compression sleeves that I wear all the time except when I'm going out somewhere special. I still am able to play tennis but I am really bummed that this happened this late in the game. I believe it was brought on by a massage I got. Dumb me let them massage my arm and that day, I noticed it swelling...so NEVER let anyone massage your affected arm. I have had previous massages that never caused it to swell, I guess I figured I was immune to getting it...very stupid of me, I must say.
