Lymphoedema and carpal tunnel

Hi all,

I have a question. I have lymphoedema to my left arm following breast cancer. I have also been suffering from carpal tunnel syndrome.

Does anyone know if I can wear a wrist brace with my lymphoedema compression sleeve?

I can't find any info on this

Yes, you can.

MLD may help too. I had it in both wrists, but surgeon would not operate on my affected arm, but did the right hand. Weirdly, I had no pain in the left wrist after the surgery!!!!
