Elevation: That depends on the cause, but ice and elevation of the limb help. See your doctor as to the cause!

Depends on cause: It is not normal for a 34 year old female to have upper extremity edema, unless she had breast surgery and removal of lymph nodes in the arm pit (axilla). So, you must see an internist or a primary care physician to determine why edema (if it is truly edema) is present.
