  schema:description "After surgery or radiotherapy to the armpit nodes, the arm can swell (lymphoedema). Measuring the arm before surgery and at check-ups can find swelling early, when a compression sleeve may stop it becoming permanent. Exercise, including weights, is safe. Infection raises the risk; the old bans on blood pressure, needles or flying are not well supported. Report arm swelling, heaviness or redness."@en ;
