I have swelling in both arms. Right at the bend interior forearm. The left is bigger than the right but both noticeable. No pain, just concerning. Called doctor and said to “watch it” for a couple of days and call back if I need to. Has anyone had this? I am still on watch and wait and no other real noticeable symptoms with the exception of fatigue. Never had any lymph node swelling, not even sure that is what it is.

Nothing I hate more than a doctor who says, we will keep an eye on it.
Wow Denis, thanks for sharing. I see the cardiologist at the end of the month. I have a heart defect, bicuspid heart valve that at present has presented no problems.

We are in this together and I will continue to pray for each of you, 🧡
Yes I had that kind of soft tissue swelling more noticeably at my right elbow when I was on watch an wait still. At that time I was having a lot of paloable lymph node swelling on the right side of my neck and armpit. They were noticeable just looking at myself in the mirror. Try here are also a few lymph nodes in the elbow area so it just stands to reason that the lymph nodes located further down the arm will be affected as well. The nodes all drain back up the arm to the general circulation so if there is a backup of the ones at the shoulder level it will affect the ones further down the arm as well. For me it was more noticeable on the right side and not so much on the left side. This has disappeared since starting treatments and the lymph nodes in the neck area and armpit are now back to their normal size. Hope this helps.

- Swollen Lymph Nodes: In CLL, lymph nodes may become enlarged and feel like hard lumps. This can occur in the armpits, neck, or groin

The only symptom that I am aware that I have been dealing with is night sweats that happen periodically and then they happen two or three times in one week, and then don’t occur again for a couple months.
I will be praying for your healing
