I finished treatment in June had proton radiation last November and surgery end of August where they removed lymph nodes under left armpits I recently developed lymphedema in left hand. Any recommendations on what to do?

I used air compression sleeves. i have a set for my arm and for my legs. it works great. i'm able to set how much air is pumped thru the sleeve and the rate between the fillings. i had to use it when i was in the hospital and it provided so much relief that i purchased it for home use.

i purchased mine at air-relax.com
