I have to agree about not stopping the use of your hand/arm. I have lymphedema in my dominant arm which happens to be my right arm. I have gone back and forth to two different LE therapist. I wrap at night (while waiting to see about my night time sleeve) and wear my sleeve during the day. I massage, use lotions, do my exercises (although some days not as much) and try to be careful with my arm. My arm has see-sawed up and down and has never really gotten back to the original size. I am not sure if it ever will. But I use my arm and try not to over use it. But I can't stop doing because of LE. I also can't continue going to PT all the time. I do check in once in a while and go for a few treatments and to make sure I am on track though.
