Hi -
I have the swelling and fluid pockets between my knuckles. Worse on my right (surgery) side.
I am now wearing a fitted compression glove with foam pieces that press on those places between my knukcles. The arm is the same size as the left one and my hand appears to be the only place the lymphedema is present.
Have your cancer center give you a referral for a good physical therapy group where there is someone who is an expert on this.
Take care of it now and it could go away and not be an indefinite problem.
