Update on lymphedema ?

I had posted I was dx with lymphedema a short time ago and the juzo sleeve caused a lump to form on my upper arm so I went to another specialists and he says he doesn't think it's lymphedema? It's definitely swollen but he thinks it's an infection under my skin? Pain when I apply pressure to my under arm between wrist and elbow? So he gave me an antibiotic to take for 3 weeks and will measure again in 6 weeks. Anyone else experience anything like this. I don't trust this diagnoses either. Not terribly worried just odd🌻
