Lymphoedema Sleeves

I don't have lymphoedema but in my internet noodling today I came across these. Thought they looked rather fun. No idea if they're any good but the woman I saw wearing one has had cancer three times and seemed pretty happy with her sleeve.

    Mine said not to, but fine for a special occasion. But it will depend on the individual case.

    @kmakm they are gorgeous patterns on some of them, I have lymphoderma would be great if anyone knew of somewhere in Oz that has them

    Yes they are nice in the different colours and patterns. I am going to check with my physio if they are okay to wear regularly given the not-exact sizing.

    That’s what I thought - I’ve got a Jobst made to measure. But would be fun on occasions!

    I have got one of their sleeves, they are okay but don't come in a wide range of sizes like the one ordered by my physio which was a Jobst brand one.

    I‘ve been tempted to get one a few times but as far as I can tell they are only available online so I can’t check the pressure level. Some excellent designs though.
