Exercise to manage Lymphedema (post breast cancer treatment)

Exercise to manage Lymphedema - with Rita, Lymphedema-patient and Cancer-survivor: Step-by-step instructions
Wonder how important exercise is after cancer treatment and also to manage lymphedema? Rita could not lift up her left arm without pain after surgery. She also has lymphedema. She routinely exercises. It helps mind, body and soul. She manages her lymphedema well!

(a) Lymphedema Explained: simple and comprehensive understanding of lymphedema after cancer,
(b) Manual Lymph Drainage (MLD) demonstrated on lymphedema patient,

Around 15 to 20 days

[@mussuratnawab9442]

Or when the stitches are remove

[@karimasamahi2786]

I heard it should be start the second day of the surgery. First week they give u 6 excise then second week increase the another 6 its mean 12 the more u start early the more will be relief afterwards.

Hi Ashish, you should start upon your healing, but you should consult with your physician about it before you start
