Your career choices sound very interesting. I hear what you are saying
about people becoming self-conscious around you, but, that is their
problem, not yours. (remind me not to dance, write or speak around you. LOL).
I'm sorry you are in discomfort. If in doubt, I would check it out with
your doctor. I had swelling in the underarm area after they removed the
drainage tube. The doctor drained the fluid and it was fine. Is that where
your swelling is?
