Having said that, the risk is highest in 12 months after surgery.<br /><br />And don't be too worried - I have been doing weight training since surgery with no problems - there are studies to show it helps - my surgeon told me to life nothing heavier than 6 kg so you can see there are a lot of discrepancies in the advice.Janehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02475155333546477042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2090430847904502711.post-28111480458516160842011-08-26T06:40:59.765-07:002011-08-26T06:40:59.765-07:00Unlearning things must be so hard, especially when...Unlearning things must be so hard, especially when you are so determined to get your life all back to normal!

I first noticed puffiness and more marking from sleeves than the other side. Mainly mid arm - my hand is normal for now. Just so you know how it starts....
