Research that has been published included people who had lymph nodes resected, so your situation sounds different from what was specifically observed in those studies. You could trial a sauna before purchasing one for yourself, to see if that causes any swelling. Keep in mind that anytime you try something to see how the arm reacts, make sure to be ready to use any lymphedema management techniques you have used in the past to return the arm/body part to its usual size.
