Hi Brenda D

I also had this kind of thing happen to me. My surgery was 2 years
ago, and I still try to remember to use my good arm for anything
strenuous. I have mild lymphedema and my arm will swell if I use
it a lot or do any "heavy" work with it. I wear an elastic arm sleeve
and glove when I am gardening. Any time I "hurt" myself, I wait a
day or two for things to settle down and then start doing the exercises
I did after my surgery. It's hard to remember to NOT use that arm for
heavy stuff.... Good luck....
