    Get in to your PCP for a chat. Could be a number of things, not necessarily bc.

    Hi, I used to get that when I had some lympedema swelling in my axilla and back. I stepped up my Manual Lymph Drainage and went to see a Lymphedema Specialist and got rid of it, so don't despair.

    C-spine x-ray, or at least a chiropractor or orthopedist visit, might reveal the cause as cervical spinal neuropathy (disk pressing on one of the nerves that goes down the arm)—often triggered by changes in posture & sleep positions after mastectomy or lumpectomy, or even the precautions we might have taken to minimize the risk of LE!
