The lympoedema physio did say that it doesn't hurt to have the occasional blood pressure taken on the bad arm but if it is a blood pressure testing that is on continually then definitely not to use that arm.
Calf is a good idea because what do you do if double mastecomy and nodes removed on both sides?? I am very thankful that isn't me but there are lot of pink ladies out there who are probably in that situatioin, so calf is a way to go I guess.
