Dear all,
I wonder if anyone can please offer some advice? I had truncal lymphodema dx 2006 (after recon became cellulitic) , then have now developed arm lymphodema a few years ago, and now have a bit of tightness in my hand

.
5 days ago, I woke up not feeling too well 9fluey) and also had a sensation of heat deep within my back/under arm (area of truncal lymphodema). however, there was nothing visible and the area did not feel warm to touch. I went to work (prob shouldn't) and after 6 hrs on computer, my chest/trunk/arm felt they were going to burst.
Next day, much the same, so I spoke to LD nurse on the phone who thought it may be cellulitis, despite no redness or heat to the area, just this sensation of heat from deep inside. I then had to ring my GP and ask for antibiotics on LD nurses advice.
However, the next da (3 days ago)y i went to collect these , but noticed the area felt much better , so thought perhaps it is just a flare-up of LD and have't taken them.
However, today I feel awful (really fluey) but don't sem to have the heat feeling and still no visible signs.
Does this sound like cellulitis of LD, or do I just have a viral thing going on?? XX
