Hi - Rozebud, I would love to have those excercises, my email is elcalabrese@aol.com.
Basically what is being done is I have to wear this layer of foam and bandages which are pretty snug. The theory being that as I move it stimulates the muscles and forces the fluid to move up and into the quad of that lymph system and eventually drained. Then every day i go in for massaging of my arm, back and side and neck. My case was mild, but I had been living with it for about 8 mos. So far in two days my arm went down 1.5 centimeters. It's not too much bigger than the other arm now. It's amazing.
The therapist told me to start doing moderate excercise and some massaging so that I can learn to keep it under control.
