Send them to a Lymphedemologist!
If someone NEEDS a day sleeve and glove and/or night sleeve due to lymphedema they need to see a Lymphedemoligist to get the right compression and FIT. One 'size' does not fit all! I'm on my 3rd different combo and still not right and have been working with a certified Lymphedemologist for most of the last year. Once you know what is right for you, you can order but FIRST must know what is needed AND right for you.0 -

ON THE WEB
I have been wearing my sleeve and glove for close to 9 years now, I used to get them from a specialist but now I have learned how to measure them so I purchase mine online where it is a bit less expensive. Here is the site I have used for the past 5 years.
LYMPHEDEMA SLEEVES
Hope this helps,

I got mine
from a place that specializes in supplies for cancer paitents. It was recommeded by the PT that I saw for my lymphedema. The one I got was $120 but my insurance paid most of it. My PT said that after the first one that I was fitted for I could just order them on-line. I have looked and they are between $50 & $100 depending on the style and color you want.

funky brassieres and fake breasts. It's sort of like a Frederick's of Cancer. Please don't tell my mom I'm frequenting such disreputable places.
Nah, my lady measured me and I got two sleeves and one glove. Googling "lymphedema supplies" will provide you with a plethora of options and prices. I'm still pondering a tie dyed sleeve for Arbor Day should I want to get my tree hugging self on.
Happy shopping!0
