Dear @4Coco
My therapist has never mentioned any issues about sleeping. Mind you, if I could sleep with my arm held straight up in the air, that would help! I don’t wear a sleeve at night so maybe it doesn’t make any difference. I’m having a massage today - I’ll ask!
The settling down can certainly take a time - I lost 17 nodes and my underarm belonged to someone else for a while. Even now, years later, the feeling in that area is not quite right - particularly feeling heat or cold. I discovered lymphoedema by noticing that my wristwatch band was a bit too tight - my skin surface felt fine and still does, but symptoms do vary. Some people experience discomfort or heaviness but I never have.
Regards, A
