compression for shoulder lymphedema swelling
I'm wearing a sleeve and doing manual drainage 2 times daily, but am having problems with shoulder swelling. Anyone have an idea for shoulder compression? Something that will not be noticable under cloths and something that will not squish the expander I'm having put in 3/18/10?
Thanks for your input!

I am sorry you have this. I don't have lymphedema, but, many on here do and I am sure they will post for you. There is also a bc survivor here named RE. She used to have a lot of information on her expressions page. And, give your doctor a call. Maybe he can help you more. Good luck!0 -

Sorry for your pain. Manufactures, which make compression sleeves also make garments for shoulders. Check on their websites. I remember i saw the picture and brochure. Search for lymphedema (google). Juzo definitely has them.Ask you breast surgeon for physical therapy.
Good luck0
