I am post-op day 8-full upper body. I know swelling occurs for up to 6 months and varies on several factors. I do everything possible to minimize the factors that produce edema but can literally feel the swelling fluctuate during day to extent that I'm uncomfortable in my garment.

Any other suggestions? I'm miserable
