During the day I wear both a sleeve and glove to compress my affected area. So far, nothing is helping including a cortisone shot which wore off in less than 7 weeks. I possibly need surgery on my shoulder for rotator cuff repair, but it is not advised until Lymphedema clears up. I'm in pain 24/7, and I'm tired of it! I'm so sorry you are in pain, too, Kim. Have you tried any f these treatments to help? Did they improve your pain at all? less

I really need to figure out how to help my body "settle down" on my right arm swelling. I am a two-time cancer survivor for 9 yrs. now, but this Lymphedema problem just started in November with arthritic thumb joint and tendinitis happened. Anybody else relate to this?
