New research is coming out SUGGESTING to us that weight lifting may aid in the prevention of arm swelling rather than promoting it! They now suggest that lifting our groceries, weights etc. will help with muscle tone & not cause lymphadema— might even prevent it.
ALWAYS DISCUSS THESE THINGS WITH YOUR DOCTOR!!!
My question was: To me this wasn’t synonomous with, do not lift heavy things, carry heavy handbags….Lymphadema link?? How do you account for the difference?!
