lymphedema
I have had LD in my right arm and right chest area for 5 years due to radiation following breast cancer. I have had to be treated 2 times for cellulitis in that area. High fever, very red and then strong antibiotics. You might try to see a disease control specialist. It sounds like you could be having some cellulitis. Have you had a fever?
God bless!

I too have had surgery and 16 weeks of rads due to bc so it is quite possible that this may be what my problem is. I have had a light fever with it and just plain do not feel well during the time the redness is present. I will bring this to my doctors attention as I do not think she is connecting it to the lymphedema. Thank you for your insight.
