Not the only one Flori!
I also have flown a few times without a sleeve with no problems. I DID see a PT last year as had aches in my affected arm but no swelling. She was satisfied it was'nt lymphedema and actually told me if you don't suffer from this you can actually do more harm than good by wearing one flying? not sure if she had it right but on my insistence she did measure and order one for me but I haven't actually used it as yet.
Maybe I've just been lucky too although I do suffer with swollen ankles for a week after I fly!
