burning in upper arm LE?

Hi Ladies,

I am almost 4 years out since surgery. Have had very slight swelling over lumpectomy scar shortly after surgery had seroma drained twice. Over the years any over use gardening, decorating has caused area under arm and back to swell a bit for a few days but nothing to bad. Lately i have noticed a bit more swelling in breast and a very light pinkness. now I am experiencing a burning sensation in upper arm but no swelling. Previous to this i had some pains between spine and shoulder blade same as in 2013 after rads. It resolved with pt. Saw my consultant who said it was burstitis. He pressed hard and made me put my arm up my back. Since then the swelling has worsened. I must admit I kept pushing pressing the area in the back to loosen knots and used a lot of heat. That is better, but now this which I feel is some Le mainly in the breast but the arm burning is a worry.

I just get told you only had 4 sentinnel nodes removed but I also have awful scarring and shrinkage of the reast so the rads did a number on me. I know I will have to fight to see a le specialist so what can i do in the meantime. Just get told your recent ct was clear that shows shoulder etc. yes, but it wont show le.

Any advice ladies

Maria
