what you are going through, I don't know anything. when they take my blood pressure they just use a cuff around my upper arm. I get needles in my hands.
my drug injection is in my stomach.
on my insurance they have a nurse you can call and ask for information. I wonder if yours does. knowledge is power. If I can help and look up some things tell me what you want me to try to find information for.

Lymphedema in Legs & Arms: Symptoms, Causes, & Treatment


Taking blood pressure with lymphedema
While further research is needed, healthcare professionals are encouraged to minimize the risk of lymphedema by taking blood pressure readings, blood draws and injections on the non-affected limb whenever possible. In patients with breast cancer on both sides, these procedures should be performed on the leg or the foot.
