If you're noticing any enlargement in the arm, it would be best to get it checked out as soon as you can. As @afraser says, you would normally have had some sort of measurement done.

I haven't gotten one yet, but apparently (according to the lymphoedema specialist who spoke at the Adelaide conference) you can get a round knit sleeve from a chemist to wear until you get checked out. You have to get the right size. This is not one of the fitted compression sleeves but should help until you are able to get in to see someone. I can recommend a couple of places in Adelaide for specialists but don't know for other places.
