Lymphoedema and long distance air travel

I would like to venture o/s but am worried about lymphoedema. Are there ways to mitigate the risk ? I have elderly family o/s with special birthdays coming up plus a bit of a bucket list item for me to see UK again one last time

Hi Roma, I have mild lymphoedema in my left arm and occasionally wear a compression sleeve. It is recommended to wear a compression sleeve for flights over 2 hours if you have lymphoedema. Have you been diagnosed with it? You don't say if you have it?
