does lymphedema make your entire arm swell? My upper arm is all that is swollen but I feel the heaviness and the tightness in it that people say they experience. Also, my arm is very weak. My Dr. put my port in my arm for some reason and it is still in there. My upper arm fits the description of lymphedema but the bottom half really doesn't. My fingers are not swollen but my hand is weak. I'm open to any input on this.
