I have lymphedema in my legs from impaired vascular and lymph drainage. I wear compression wraps at night and compression hose during the day, which takes care of it. I hope your arm edema is easily managed. Do some research on the type of exercises you can do to help improve the drainage in your arm. Old school thought was you never exercises that arm but currently they recommend some mild exercises with small weights. I can't say for sure as I did this research several years ago and don't remember the exercises or weight allowances but it is easy to find that info. Try a google search for "exercises to improve arm lymphedema". I do exercises for my leg edema and it really helps. I walk several miles and do rebounding - that is were you have
