Wear compression sle: Wear a compression sleeve. It is impossible to massage your own are adequately . If you have someone to do it have your physical therapist teach them.

Not so easy: If you have lymph edema of the arm you should see a specialist. If you have swelling of the arm for no particular reason you should see a specialist as well because you could have a deep vein thrombosis.
