Hi,
Based on the history you have shared, you need to get this swelling evaluated especially with perimenopausal age the possibility of deep venous thrombosis should be ruled out.
You may need to have ultrasound Doppler for a veinous system of legs and arm too. Also, D -Dimers, and blood count to see for any signs of hemoconcentration, etc. If so, a vascular surgeon may need to be consulted.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
