I would think that if the arm is involved she would want a compression sleeve for her arm. She should discuss it with her doctor though.

Hi my mom feel the same.Doctor advised to use compression stocking.She used it for few days after surgery.She used it for around 2 months after that she is feeling discomfort while wearing that so she stopped wearing it. Regular exercise will give good results.
