Recurring pain and swelling

I have a recurring pain and some extra swelling in my arm after 9 years lymph removal. Discharged from clinic several years ago. Can I refer myself back or do I have to go through the GP for new referral which could take sometime? I wish to see them now.

Give your clinic a call, explain the symptoms - they must see you. (And if you have lymphoedema, why did they discharge you???)

Thank you. I will call them but last time I needed to see them I had to be referred by my GP. My lymphoedema was under control when they discharged me.
