Hi, I had mine start up earlier this year. I wear a sleeve. My physical therapist gave me exercises to do and showed me how to massage my arm. See if your doctor will send you to or for your lymphedema. It really helped me. I also bought a fun colorful sleeve online to wear during the day, but they are expensive. Mine was a gift.
