Sports Bra/Truncal Lymphedema

Hi All you Fit and Fantastic People,

I posted under lymphedema but thought I'd ask here too. I have some mild trunk swelling mostly under my left arm pit. I am about to try to get back into higher impact activities (i.e. running) and am looking for suggestions for a sports bra with good coverage and wide straps. I am smallish (36B). Does your swelling increase with high impact activities? So far I have been sticking to yoga and walking and those seem to help a lot. I kinesiotape for drainage and sometimes use a compression pad in my bra. Would love to hear any suggestions/recommendations you might have.

Hi I thought you might like to see this thread in the Lymphedema forum called, "Shirt design for Lymphedema" It was started by one of the sisters here, and a sports clothing manufacturer used our ladies input to design and market a compression shirt. It is great you should definitely check it out! Good luck with everything!
