Bernie, I'd definitely speak to your lymphedema therapist about this; I assume it's on the same arm that you've had problems with. It could be some lymph node blockage, or maybe a circulation issue of some sort due to the surgery. But whatever it is, I'd get in touch with your therapist, if possible; or one of the surgical nurses. They'll be able to help you out. Good luck - PJH
