It’s standard advice to avoid injections, including blood tests, and blood pressure readings on a lymphoedema affected arm, so I assume this warning is a cautionary extension. Lymphoedema is unusual if under five nodes have been removed, but there is no hard and fast rule. Even if you have lymphoedema (as I have) a blood pressure reading or a jab isn’t necessarily harmful but best to avoid.
