Re: Mild Lymphedema

Europa: BonnieR is correct. It is better not to wear an elastic circular knit compression sleeve when your arm is not active, like sitting watching TV, sitting on a plane or sleeping. The resting pressure impedes proper transport of lymph in the superficial lymphatics. Better look into a non-elastic compression sleeve or device for nightime such as a JoViPAC, Tribute, Reid Sleeve, ArmAssist, etc. or see if you can learn to self-bandage or have someone bandage you.
