Hi Clares
Id advise you to speak to either your BC nurse, or even better,a physiotherapist who would have a better understanding of the situation. I found them to be very helpful after my MX See if you can get a chat with them and explain your fears, which are absolutely understandable. We dont need any more problems, do we !!
Take care and good luck

Is there anyone who can advise/put my mind at ease ? I am having an operation to repair Rotar Cuff in a few days,,the operation will be keyhole, I am concerned that I may have swelling in arm. I have mild lymphoedema in forearm and do not wear a sleeve as I rest and elevate my arm if the bubbling appears. The orthopaedic surgeon just said the neck lymph nodes will drain any excess fluid. After the op I will be in a sling/brace for 24/7 for 6 weeks. The repair is on my dominant side.
I am very aprehensive and would welcome any advice.
