Lymphedema Management: Effective Exercises for Arm Swelling Reduction

[@gillianzisimides8199]

Nathan l have been doing your exercises daily for about 3-4 months and l have definitely kept it under control now for about a month. I have lost about 40 per cent of the swelling. My clinician is very pleased with me. And l'm very pleased with your instructions which l will continue.

[@oliviadeguzman9136]

Thank you sooo, sooo much Sir Nathan. Im glad i was able to see your utube page. You are helping us a lot, im a breast cancer patient for 11 years and more than 6 months. I have Lymphedema on my upper right arm, my CA is on my right breast. You are helping a lot of us. Will do this exercises with you 2x a day, everyday. Thanks GOD, Thanks to you Sir Nathan. God Blrss you.

[@fececilio5090]

[@gillianzisimides8199]

I have been doing these exercises for 3 months now Nathan and it really does help. The clinic is pleased with me because my arm is not so large now. I really don't know how to thank you because l was really desperate. I shall continue with this routine because it really makes a difference. Thank you again. I will keep you informed of my progress.

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

That is soooo good to hear. Please share it to your support group if you have one. Im happy that it helped

[@FairySirdar-qs1zz]

Thank You, what an improvement in my swollen arm from lymphadema. God Bless You!

[@gillianzisimides8199]

I have been doing your exercises for 2 months now Nathan and l am seeing some improvement. In fact the sleeve l was measured for is now slightly too big and the clinic says that l will need to be measured again. Thanks Nathan. I told the clinic about you and they told me to continue your exercises.

[@miriamzecharias4777]

I'm newly diagnosed arm lymphedema patient and l've been worrying whether my swollen arm will ever go down. I am very active 74 yr old woman but l am now limited to what l can do. Watching your video is giving me hope and l'm determined to follow your instruction to see some results. Thank you so much for your effective demonstration. God bless you.

[@jayneteske1963]

Eat healthy, cut out sugar, reduce carbs, and begin a exercise regimen. Build it up over time. Do lymphadema lymphatic drainage message. Be tough! Commit "all in" for a month and see if you don't feel better. It's hard, for sure, but it's worked for me, and it's been nearly 2 years. You CAN do it! Don't let lymphadema take away you living your life!

[@gillianzisimides8199]

This man has such a positive approach that l do these exercises with him. He makes it simple and although l don't know if it's working yet, it won't have done me any harm so I'll keep trying because l'm so desperate to find relief from this awful condition.

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

I hope it help

[@tomekagibbs3064]

You are By Far the BEST at teaching simple exercises for swollen arm due to lymphedema ! I followed right along with you and will be doing this every day! Thank you so much!!!!

[@margaretjaeger2064]

You sure have helped. I see these are exercises I was given in home by an OT but didn’t know what they were for. I Had OT also from another therapist and it was body sfrength to avoid falls and regain balance. Now I know what that OT was after..in the upper area tho he never said it was for Lymphadema…these are exactly the same as this man has demonstrated in his video. I’ve had Lymphadema for a month now and found there is no therapist help in this city any longer. No help No massage therapists who do the massages on you then wrap your arm with the elastic long banadages that produces the pressure needed on a constant consistent basis for compression so needed.,,andnive been worried even if the doctors in this city aren’t. But now I have this man’s help I can do at home myself….Thank you So much..!

[@jayneteske1963]

I hope you can get a referral to a lymphadema therapist so you can get some measurements . There are various compression sleeves to help, but I think a doc has to refer you. I have learned a great deal from lymphadema therapist on KZbin. They can get you going on lymphatic message. It really helps. I do it a.m. and p.m. WITHOUT fail for 12 minutes or so. Don't give up. Commit yourself to the fight!!

[@margaretjaeger2064]

@@jayneteske1963 been there done that years ago. But had a flare up last year during cold weather season Tabatha I thought was never going to quit. It went down and when I thiught it done ,,came back for another round. Called Dr.,andndidnhome therapy this time as was advised our only 2 therapists in town had moved into the next state about 2 hours drive away. So did the arm rubs that had been done on me years before and had called the pharmacy here to go to as they have a department of medical supplies and did measuring for my first sleeve go round and that was back at time of first flair up in 2013-2014. So all those years back and it decided to flair up again. This was the 3rd. Time. Thank you for your concern tho. Appreciated that others are aware and alert to know what’s needed with lymphedema.

[@margaretyan9502]

Thanks Nathan. This is effective and I do it everyday. God bless you.

[@ardellnelson1407]

You are phenomenal. I have lymphedema in both legs and both arms and I just found you last night. I did both legs and the arms this morning on all four limbs. My arms were so swollen especially, actually were hurting they were so tight. I have a little give in them now after doing your exercise. It is difficult to raise my arms at 80 years of age but I lifted them as I best could and so now I need to find some kind of a hook and loop to hang from my ceiling so I can lift my arms higher. I Thank you.

[@terrieahunter-lawrence8837]

Thank you for helping the community of Lymphedema. The video will be my go-to. Results matter.

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Awww. That makes me happy

[@psrwhite]

Thank you. Your exercises were easy to follow. You are a great teacher and motivator.

[@glendeeochoa7765]

Thank you so much it helps a lot. I will start doing this everyday i have a swollen right arm and its really heavy and painful.

[@thisthatandthose]

Can I say I'm proud of everyone here? Bc I am. It's an everyday all day problem. I have full body lymphedema. Belly legs arms.etc Insurance denies a pump machine. These exercises help. Don't give up. I noticed I do them whenever I feel pain and need it to flow, not just 2 times a day. Now that I am getting consistent I lost 3 lbs of fluid in a few days. But You can memorize these quickly. And half can be in bed. Maybe write it down and rest between the sets. And if can only do a part do that part. Only lift as far as can. But don't give up! I gave up. Now I'm full of lumps that hurt. And wasn't draining, my muscles are wasting. I gained over 50 lbs of fluid in a few months. Now I regret it. Don't give up. Eat better also. And let's encourage each other! Way to go everyone!!!! Great job!. Do the massage also. There is foam/bandage wrapping. I just ordered a wooden tool and dry brush to try to break up lumps. I learned people who do liposuction use these bc they have to drain lymph nodes. C a nc e r meds cause lymph damage. And the survivors need to do this. Prayers for Elohim to heal us all! Sry for ramble.

[@wyabey5745]

Hi, my mom has a heavily swollen arm and has been that way for about 10 years now. We were told there was no way to drain the arm and she would just have to wear compression garments to keen it from getting worse. Could I know if these exercises still work for arms swollen for so long and does she have to be lying down or sitting up while doing these? I'm hoping to help her do these instead of her doing it herself.

[@nikkidawson5123]

[@margaretyan9502]

Hi Nathan I am getting disheartened because I cannot wear clothes with long sleeves as my right arm is swoolen - ie the part near the elbow and upper arm. I do this exercise each day. I am almost giving up. Can you tell me what else I can do to reduce the swelling??? I would love a response from you. 😪What am I doing wrong?? Thanks.😪

[@margaretyan9502]

Nathan, can you tell me if the lymphatic pump really works? I notice that when I do these exercises the swelling does reduce somewhat. However, in the mornings I notice the swelling is more prominent. Will the swelling go away permanently? I welcome your response please. Thank you.

[@SKILLSANDWELLNESS]

Yes. It works. When you sleep, you move bery little thats why the swelling becomes more prominent. When the lymphatic system and the rest recovers, swelling should be a lot lesser

[@margaretyan9502]

@SKILLSANDWELLNESS Thanks Nathan, it's comforting to receive your explanation. My other question is will the swelling totally disappear!! Appreciate your response. Thanks.
