        Thanks I will get him to ask the PT to measure him. Most of the sleeve sites seem to be targeting women tho…. has anyone found any that are more male orientated?

              Sorry I forgot to say that the physiotherapist told him to continue with his exercises, so that is what he is doing. I give his arm a gentle massage before he does his exercises so that the tightness is relieved a bit and he can lift his arm. Will be glad to get the proper hands on advice next week though of how to massage it properly so I know I am doing the right thing.

                    Thanks everyone for your advice. He has got an appointment with his physiotherapist next week who knows the problem well and will teach him how to manage it. We are doing our best until then.  I am not sure where to get a compression sleeve fitted here, as I think it is just a case of ordering one online. (we live in India) I am wondering if there are any sites that teach you how to measure for one so that we can do it ourselves and order one that way. I can get one sent from the UK or the US if there is nothing here. I will have to do a bit of research on that.
