    I I had a double mastectomy due to I DC in 2008 and now I am feeling very tight in my chest and pain in my chest when I lift my arm and I feel like I am wearing a iron bra and it's very very tight feeling..I will be calling my doctor next week it's been going on for about three weeks but I thought it was because I was lifting and moving heavy items in my home.

    Doreen - Did you have chemo? or Radiation? Did they take sentinel nodes? Glad you're getting a doc appointment.

    We are at risk for lymphadema even with just SNB. Could happen up to 20 years later. Could be truncal &/or breast LE. See if there's any useful information on this LE site.
