Clothes fitting around lymphoedema

I have had left arm lympoedema for 16 years. Does anyone else have trouble finding bras and tops to fit. Tried new bra this arming. It seemed to push the fluid along and was able to get into smaller size top for a while. Then bra started to hurt under armpit so put old bra back on with said smaller top. However, arm fillled up with fluid again, then top too small again so had to revert back to bigger top. Can not wear compression sleeve as cuts off my circulation. Can anyone please recommend something? Thanks
