Has anyone experienced lymphedema pain after breast surgery?

The pain and swelling can be frustrating, but there are often ways to manage symptoms - it might help to discuss options like physical therapy, compression garments, or other treatments with your medical team.

I have to wait until Friday to see what kind of treatment 😩 the earliest I can see the surgeon

Hi Lymphedema is very common when u have nymph nods involved. It can be very painful at times. But the compression selves could help. When u finally do get it make sure it covers ur wrist along with glove cause otherwise ur hand and wrist will swell up. I’m glad u’re feeling better . Please keep in touch and let me know u are. Mary❤️

Gm morning Mary ..thanks for always messaging me with my concerns ..I pray you are well in this day🩷🩷...my whole breast swallow up look like I never had a mastectomy 🫩is there something I can use for that ..I can't see the surgeon until Friday

All I feel every night as the sun goes down it feels like a Very Hot knife turning where my surgery was.It started with the Radiation Therapy

Patricia Daly sorry for what your going through. When did you have your surgery?

And how much Radiation did u have to have

Hi it’s me I’m going to be honest I never had that. But I assume if u put heat or cold on it it should feel better U have to remember u were cut so u would expect to be sore just like if u cut urself on ur arm or anywhere else. It needs time to heal but make sure when u see the Dr. that u don’t have any infection and if u do get antibiotic. That will help the infection cause that’s what it sounds like.!otherwise how are u feeling? I hope better. Please let me know how u are and what the Dr. said. Are u running a fever? Feel better. Mary

Good more my friend Mary Z. I don't have fever but feels some nausea last night and still this morning..doctor appointment today at 11:30 ..🙏🙏🙏I can get this under control

Hi u probably have a slight infection from what u’re describing. Let know how u are doing and what says. I’m feeling ok. I don’t go back for another infusion until week.I still have before I start feeling bad again. And as I told u’re trying to move so that slows me down.
