How can you treat swelling in shoulder area and muffin top  when wearing a sleeve?

    Hi, barb!  You might want to try the new WearEase t-shirt. Like so:

    I tried it but couldn't even get it on.  Especially since I have brachial plexopathy and shoulder pain.  Did you try it?

    barb, I'm currently using a prototype t-shirt from Go Atheletic. Have you tried a Solaris (or Jovi-Pak) vest with attached (snap-on) sleeve? They can make them thinner than the usual night garment, but still with the quilting to direct flow (at least Jovi can, and Solaris has recently come up with some lighter styles too). For day use you can have the sleeve made without the hand part and just wear your day glove with it. A bit bulkier than regular day garments, but comfortable!

    Hugs,
    Binney

    thanks Bonney. I guess I was just looking for an easier solution.  Is there a secret to how you get into these tees?
