Lymphedema in chest wall on "good" side

shadylady1

I was treated for Lymphedema a little over a year ago.  I have it in my left arm and left breast.  I wear compresion garments.  A little over a month ago I experienced swelling regardless of whether I wrap at night, wear the compression bra and sleeve and elevate it, etc. so I begin treatment again on Monday.  The one thing I have noticed is that my "good" breast and the chest wall feel swollen.  I had my mammogram 5 moths ago and my annual breat MRI is scheduled in 3 weeks.   I am 45 but have been in chemopause for over a year and I am being switched from Tamoxifen (which I have been off of for a month) to an AI.  I even feel a little soreness in my right arm.  Has anyone else experienced this?  I know my left arm and breast are swollen and have been this way for a month but I am wondering if this tenderness that I am experiencing on the right side is related to the lymphedema?  Thank you!

I have also gained 60 pounds since treatment which doesn't help the lymphedema situation..
