Lyn I am happy this worked for you. However, its not anything I would dare try. I do not have lymphedema in my arm but on the chest wall. I do wear the jobst sleeve to prevent swelling most of the time. I don't wear it when I go out unless I am doing shopping and carrying packages. The doctor had me get a disability form for handicap parking as he said I should not be pushing a shopping cart across the parking lot with groceries in it!! This is my oncologist. I was rather surprised because most of the time they know nothing about lymphedema. Good luck to you. Like you said different strokes for different folks. hugs, Sandy
