self massage
Hi ladies
I have mild lymphodema in my boob and slightly in my arm as well. I have been self massaging twice a day now for close to 18 months now and starting to get a sore elbow from all the exerc...
Hi Maryrose Unbelievable isn't it - one thing leads to another. I still have mild fluid in the boob and maybe the arm, up to about 6 mnths ago I was doing the same. Then I stopped, you massage away the fluid and its very quickly back!!! And the boob was often a little painful to boot!! Currently my last mammo showed the fluid is slowly receding in the boob and after not massaging I have no pain. If I use my arm too much (pruning) the numbness etc comes back, but just do some stretching to alleviate. I had a little hand held massager that was good - maybe that would help.
