Dawnt

I had a numbing creme put on 1 hour before my snb & it didnt hurt. You can call the hospital & ask about it

I went to pt for 3 weeks. They did do the wrapping but I left it on till the next morning when I took a shower & then 2 hrs later I went back to pt. The did do the abdomen thing pressing certain points.She did massage my arm but it was also my hip,back & underarms.She said those were places where the fluid would travel since I had lymph nodes taken out. After 3 weeks my arms were the same size & I was fitted for a sleeve. Did she give you exercises? I do try to do them & she did say I had a mild case.

I just have a question.Why cant you move your mouse to the right & type with your left hand.I'm left handed & find it easy.Maybe you type a lot more than me.Tell us how it works. thanks!!

thanks for updating us on it.

I had the same spot & they said it was cellulitus.The dr gave me a prescription to get rid of it.My pt says its from the fluid not moving & your arm & causing bacteria to grow there. Godd luck

thanks for the post

tell us how it works.It looks interesting.I did ask my physical therapy lady about it today.She said most drs dont care for it because when you take off the sleeve the top off your arm can get hard from the fluid not moving. She said she has recommended them to some people like you that dont want to wrap.She said they are coming out with a new sleeve that works better.Too bad your insurance wont pay for it

I must be lucky. I just say use my right arm please & they dont even ask why.Because of chemo my veins are really bad in my right arm so I also ask them to take blood from the vein in the back of my hand.

I start mine on Thursday.
