I am currently seeing my PT again for MLD after experiencing some swelling in my left arm and trunk that wasn't resolving as it usually did.  I am noticing that my breasts, armpit (good side) and my sternum are sore as it used to be before I got my period.  Just really tender.  Has anyone else ever experienced this?  She is fantastic and uses a very light touch so it isn't a technique issue.  Just curious to see what others have experienced.  I haven't had a period in almost 2 years since my first chemo treatment and I am 45.

Thank you!

    Is this PT also a Certified LE Therapist? Don't see how MLD massage on LE side would effect other side. I never had it happen. I went through natural memopause 18 yrs before DX and LE.
