Hi ladies thanks for your very valuable responses to my original post about compression sleeves. However, I was reading information on several breast cancer web sites about lymphedema, and now I am more confused than before. Some web sites said that it was not necessary to use compression sleeves when flying. Then another web sites said it was important to use the sleeves when flying. One site said that the preasure from the sleeve can cause lymphedema. Another site said the preasure from the sleeve can prevent lyphedema. Has any of you ladies had any experience whether good or bad flying with a sleeve? I currently do not have lymphedema so I trying to do what is right to avoid getting it while flying from New York to Florida. THANKS AGAIN LADIES!!!!!
