You mentioned you wear a sling at night. I take it that means your lymphedema is of the arm. Are you also wearing any type of compression sleeve on that arm?
I didn't know much/any about lymphedema but did a little research on it and compression garments were discussed as one of the many treatments.
As Christine mentioned above, tell us some more about your situation; the more we know, the more we can help.
