What type of specialist would I see? No one knows where to refer me

I had a prophylatic nipple sparring double mastectomy about 3 months ago. My plastic surgeon.PT and PCP are perplexed. All 3 professionals have no clue as to how I could have AWS cording when i had NO lymph node biopsy or removal. The cording in my arm has become more painful and pronounced and it's been 3mos. My physical therapist actually stopped massaging the area because it did not help.I am going in next month for my exchange but want to get this treated first. Thank you for any input
