For the last two weeks I've been waking up in the morning with numbness in the little and ring fingers on my right hand. I thought maybe I was just sleeping wrong on my arm, but yesterday Doc Lustberg said "no, sounds like early symptoms of
lymphedema." She quickly added the symptoms didn't mean what I was experiencing would culminate in lymphedema. To avoid that from occurring she recommended physical therapy. So, that's what I did today. Therapist gave me exercises to do that will improve the flow of lymphathic fluid, help repair some soft tissue damage in my right shoulder, and strengthen upper back muscles.
I hate exercise, but this is more like medical prescription, right? Guess I'll take my medicine.
