Arm Lift and Compression
So, today, I decided to wrap my arms in ace bandages. They were so badly puckered and swollen. My surgeon is not having me put any compression on them yet. But I tried it. I wore the ace bandages for 30 minutes.....and took them off because I was really itchy, but boy, oh boy, my arms had barely any puckering! It made me feel so good! lol!

Every doctor has different protocols for what they believe to be right. My ps uses compression but not some of the full compression garments that I see others post about here - basically ace wraps for the extremities and an ab binder for ab work.
It's all about how they are trained, to what schools of though they subscribe and mixed in with what each individual patient needs.
