reducing the chances of gettng LE

lehelter · April 2014

Can reduction in range of motion of shoulders be early warning signs of lymphedema in high risk patients? In other words, when a patient does routine stretching exercises after surgery but feels that the range of motion (how far the shoulder would move) has decreased, do the chances of developing lymphedema go up?

oh I am sorry to hear that. Usually your range of motion would increase. I would check with your PT or BS.

utine stretching exercises after surgery but feels that the range of motion (how far the shoulder would move)

Tough question.

How soon after surgery ? Which surgery ? Many variables to consider....Could still be a post op effect.

Avoid repetetive movements with your arm.
