Hi @Afraser
Many thanks for what you have raised - I was thinking about looking around for a specialist therapist - and I'm hoping that this initial 1 hour appointment at the hospital will have some sort of a follow on / referrals once I know what they detect - its hard to know if what I'm feeling in my arm area is the settling down following surgery that they mentioned to expect for up to a year. Some days the upper arm feels tighter than other days. Do you know if it makes any difference as to which position you sleep - to sleep on opposite side to where surgery was done to increase lymph flow?
