— Kimberly Kouri (@KimberlyKouri)Wed, May 06 2015 00:05:45 - @KimberlyKouri #lymphchat The issue isn't whether your arm is swollen as much as whether the swelling or other symptoms are CHANGING.

— Robin Miller (@thriving_robin)Wed, May 06 2015 00:15:02 - I have a patient (I am a CLT) who was told swimming is good as it provides "compression" of the water pressure. Thoughts? #lymphchat

— Karen Gallo (@gallo_karen)Wed, May 06 2015 00:11:24 - That is a great question! I have been told the same thing about water and find swimming to be helpful #lymphchat https://twitter.com/gallo_karen/status/595742625254264832 …

— Karen Gallo (@gallo_karen)Wed, May 06 2015 00:14:27 - @gallo_karen @thriving_robin #lymphchat But don't wear sleeve during water exercise. sleeves will break down in contact with chlorine.

— Kathryn Schmitz (@fitaftercancer)Wed, May 06 2015 00:16:17 - @gallo_karen I do the same! I take my sleeve off before I swim and put it back on after I shower. The breast stroke helps me! #lymphchat
