Have you had a Doppler test to check the blood supply to the hand? Do you lose sensation or have numbness in your little and ring fingers? Are you also wearing a full sleeve?

I would get it checked, especially if it’s becoming a regular occurrence. Do you get any problems when the garments are off?

Then it could be a problem with the garments - so either contact the lymphoedema clinic or/& your GP to get the blood supply checked.

I had breast cancer in 2001. Thankfully not affected, other than fluctuating upper arm size if I’m under the weather. I do SLD every night, and watch it like a hawk. I am also an independent lymphoedema therapist!

I had tingling and throbbing (and blue fingers!) when my Jobst made-to-measure hand and sleeve garments were too tight. It was resolved by the LE nurse amending the measurements. It took 3 attempts of re measuring before I no longer had tingling etc

It sounds as if the glove component of the sleeve is too tight at some point. I wear a Mediven combined gauntlet sleeve and it hasn't caused any problems.

The measurements need tweaking - as CCT67 says, it can take a few attempts to get it right.

Don’t wait for your next scheduled appointment at the clinic - call and ask for an early appointment as the glove is causing problems.
