In November I was knocked down and fell on that arm and seem to have also developed tennis elbow which I feel provides constant irritation. I have tried icing and Aleve and did 3 weeks of lymph massage with a PT while wearing a circaid as many hours as I could bear. The lower arm came down a bit, upper went up. I cannot wear the Jobst sleeves I bought in early November and most days have to switch from an old sleeve to a very light sleeve. I can't get new sleeves because the swelling isn't stable. Some days are better than others but most days the arm swells more as the day goes on. Does anyone have helpful suggestions? less
