Abbydog, have you tried dry brushing daily on your arm to help with the fluid build up?
I have also been told to try gentle walking on a trampoline to help with Lymphoedema. Tai Chi is really good and swimming.
I also have an arm sleeve that I wear especially when I use my arm a lot out in the garden, or travel long distance in a car.

I also visit a massage therapist that specialises in draining the lymphatic system, which does help me.
At present I’m stopping it from getting any worse, but I know exactly what you mean by the arm feeling bigger. My full auxiliary clearance was July 2019, still have numbness under arm pit and upper arm.
I think for me it’s nice knowing that what I’m feeling at this stage is normal, so I’m just going with the flow and trying to do as much as I can to keep things at bay.
