Hi Atat!
Going to clinic on Friday for some advice see what they say! They just seem to be ignoring the lymphoedema which worries me slightly! Need my assertive head on!!

I've tendinitis at the level of my wrist. I also gave mild lymphoedema. I think the tendinitis is due to the Anastrozole I take. Am taking ibobrofen, and my GP is thinking of referring me to a rheumatologist.

Hello all I wonder if anyone can help me! I have been diagnosed with mild lymphedema and am beginning to have pain in my palm! I was recently diagnosed with tendonitis and had a steroid injection this was before diagnosis of ld. This initially was successful but pain is returning so wondering if its because of ld that it is happening? I probably shouldnt have had an injection on my affected side but didnt realise this at the time! Any insights would be extremely helpful TIA x
