I agree…see a lymphedema therapist asap. She/he will give you techniques to manage it. I also found that a healthy diet and regular exercise aids in control of swelling breast/arm tissue. Compression bras also work miracles. Be sure to get the right size and fit. Good luck to you.

Hi, this is a great help & I've been able to forward the video to the Lymphedema clinic to ask if the tequnique is suitable for me to do daily whilst Im waiting to be seen.
And YES was the answer alond with a phone call explaining once I've been seen they will expand & give more massge technique for me to do at home that are different.
At least the clinic agree that it's a good starting point & geys me going.
So thank you for sending the info.
Bras also they said wait until I'm seen so I don't make an expensive mistake.
But yes I do need a well supported but compression bra.
Can I ask have the exercises & compression bra got the lymp breast back to normal size ? Or almost?
Many thanks again x
