thanks fauxgypsy i read your entry under the web syndrome and also the others, it sounds very much like what i have, the only problem is it is on the opposite arm of where surgery was.I had two lumpectomies on the left breast in april and had 3xchemo arimadex using the veins in right arm after about 10 jabs to find find veins every session,i was told about a port and had one fitted.i have asked every medical person i could find,4 oncs,plastic surgeon,various gp's and they all just offer sympathy but no solutions.i went to a lymphodema sister who has massaged it a number of times and shown me how to massage it,i have also been for a number of visits to the physio nothing seems to help.A number of you speak about excercise that helped what are these?
