Re: Swelling?

I have light swelling if I use my effected arm too much. Meaning the arm that had some lymph nodes removed. The swelling will come after too much vacuming, window washing or scrubbing. It sometimes occurs after a good work out at Pilates, or too many downward dogs in yoga. I try not to overdo that arm. I hope you get an answer for your swelling.

All the best,
