Developing pain and tightness in my left arm from armpit to elbow - feels like my tricep pulls when I reach out in a "V" w/ my arms. Who should i see about getting a PT referral? I see my PS on Friday 12/19 for my exchange surgery. I don't see my MO until Jan 12th and my BS until late February. I know the cancer center where my MO is has a Lymphedema specialist there if that matters. Suggestions?

    it doesn't really matter which doctor gives you the referral.  I would recommend see the lymphedema specialist, but I would either get your PS to give you the referral next week, or call your MO or BS.  Get seen soon.  With the holidays approaching, you may have to wait for an appt,, so get the referral as soon as you can.
