Thanks for the information. I was diagnosed with lymphedema almost 15 years after my modified radical mastectomy. I now wear a compression sleeve when needed for pain management but have started having pain in the palm of my hand. What's the best course to follow? Is it time to wear a gauntlet?

@neurojudy Thank you so much for sharing. I understand the frustrations of lymphedema after a mastectomy. I think your best course of action is to follow up with the doctor or primary care physician to discuss the new symptoms.
