Hi Carmen,
It sounds like you are in quite a bit of discomfort. Have you considered seeing a lymphoedema practitioner for your pain? I believe there are a number of physiotherapists out there that are also lymphoedema practitioners.
You might like to refer to the National Lymphoedema Practitioners Register (NLPR), which is a website that allows you to search for registered lymphoedema practitioners in your local area.
Their website is http://www.nlpr.asn.au.
I recently wrote a blog entry on lymphoedema - you may like to have a look if you are after more information on lymphoedema. You can find it here.
All the best,
Annie
