Getting the ultrasound sounds like a good first step! If that test is negative, please get a mammogram and thorough breast exam. There could be something blocking the lymphatic drainage from the left upper quadrant. This could cause swelling.

are you left handed? cuz i know the arm you do most of your stuff with will tend to be larger. other than that i have no clue, sorry, maybe someone else will.
