Hi All
I am looking for some advice!
2 weeks ago I had to have another operation Auxiliary Lymph node clearance, unsure of how many were removed I shall find out when I see my consultant next week, I am getting worried now as since having the drain out 10 days ago my arm is still painful, numb in places especially in the armpit.
Last night I noticed from the elbow up it is puffy , feels like fluid.
I have rested the arm lots but not done any exercises as I wasn’t sure what I was to do it was a Saturday when I was discharged from the hospital so I didn’t see a physio.
I feel I should be doing something to help with recovery?
Scared this could turn into Lymphedema or I could have infection.
Any advice or tips would be gratefully received.
thanks
Nicky Xx
