Lymphedema
Hi Everyone
I haven't posted for a while but would like some advice. I am hoping to travel to Europe next year and am a bit concerned about flying and lymphedema. I have always had to do exercises ...

Hi Maree, I flew to the UK in late March this year and wore my compression sleeve during the flight and did a few arm exercises and stretches while on the plane and thankfully I didn't have any issues.
Also, I massage my arm with downward strokes each day and try not to aggravate the problem too much - usually overdoing things, such as heavy lifting / gardening in the heat for too long- will set it off.
Not sure if you've got a compression sleeve, I got mine through a physio who specialises in lymphodema and she also showed me how to massage the area. Hope this helps and that you have a great trip! Jane xx
