I had a mastectomy in 2009. Soon after that I was fitted for a glove and sleeve 2010. I also got a sleeve to sleep in which covers my hand and arm and is supposed to help reduce swelling. Recently I noticed increased swelling in my arm with pain around my chest. Checked it out and thankfully no blood clots.
Anyway, sorry for the going on. My main point is the one I wear for sleeping which is soft, but firm and a bit clunky is helping reduce the swelling. Not a lot but some. I had hoped my dr would have sent me to a therapist for wrapping and massage, but no such luck. The lemph massage therapist and the night garment work best. Although I am wearing mr sleeve and gauntlet during the day. less
