In 1968 I had 14 lynph nodes removed, and luckily did not have any swelling of my arm. But, recently the arm has swollen. In addition, I broke my left shoulder, and I notice the upper arm swells, but no pain, just difficulty with clothing, sleeve too small. The swelling comes and goes, and seems to be related to how much I use the arms. I am now 92, so the swelling may have some relationship to the medications I take. I had an aortic Valve replacement approximately 1 year ago. I find your article very informative. Thank you

I am glad you found the article helpful! It seems like there might be some recent events that might be causing your arm to swell. Have you talked to your doctor about the swelling in your arm?
