Swollen arm and neck
I noticed in the mirror that my left lower arm was swolllen what I like to call the "flesh Flags" as well as my armpit - while flexing my arms.
I had a mamo and a lump was found in the left brest I had 2 FNA & both were fine.
The concern is the swelling is still there and the arm is 4cm larger tha the right arm, I have also noticed swelling above the collar bone as well.
Seem's that none of my doctors no what is and I am concerned,a cat scan revealde some swelling in the lymph nodes but no one seems concerned.
what's a girl to do? all of my blood work is fine and the only other change I have noticed is bone pain in the area and weakness.
I have this feeling that something is not right but no one hears me.

if you have a feeling that somthing is not right then you need to shout until you are heard!
a friend of mine recently went through and survived Gullian Barre syndrome and at first none of her drs would listen to her either.
finally she packed her overnight bag and had her husband drive her to the ER.. there she planted herself and told them she wasnt leaving until she found out what was wrong! long story short she ended up being treated and her insistance saved her life.
if you have a dr that wont listen, keep going to new ones and shouting till you are heard. you know your body and you know somthing is wrong:)
good luck
