Re: Swelling?
I have lymphedema in my right arm. I didn't have an infection, cut, etc either, just the swelling initially. I think it - lymphedema - can start without any obvious triggers if you've had a sentinel node biopsy and even one lymph node removed. I hope your MRI is negative for LE. :-) Lynne
