Hi Everyone,
We have all read by now the wonderful new study on Weight Lifting and Lymphedema and if not, look at my blog ‘bug bites and Lymphedema” However still be careful. I have Lymphedema in my left arm and hand and tried weight lifting with an exercise specialist who is a Lymphedema expert. (which is what you should do if you decide to weight lift) We started with small amounts of weights at low reps, which was good. As we increased the weights and reps my arm was not happy about that and began to swell. We eventually had to back off and go to the lower weights and less reps. So just know that everyone is different and to make sure you are with someone who knows what they are doing.
Sincerely,
Sherry
