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

Also how r u you feeling Mary Z

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. Hopefully by the end of the month we’ll be moved. Anyway feel good and please keep in touch!❤️. Mary

Well do Mary Z..safe travels 🧡🧡

Hi just checking in to see how u’re doing? How’s ur chest? I hope better. What did the Dr. have to say? Please keep in touch and let me know how u’re doing. Mary❤️

Hi Mary thanks for checking in on me 🩷🩷🩷im doing well still some tenderness doctor took out one of the drains gave me medication antibiotics so I will not get an infection 🙏🙏🙏praying the other drain gets taking out tomorrow

Also did you move yet?

Just checking in to see how u feel and what u’ve decided to do as far as treatment. Let me know hope all is well Mary❤️

Hi I’m sorry it took so long to get back to u but I think we finally found furniture we like. So it remains to be seen. When I see it in my bedroom in my house I’ll believe it. Ok let me see if I can explain this: ok as u know when u have cancer they usually put a port up by ur neck . Well in the port is where they put the chemo or another medication that they give in relationship to the disease. It’s like they put an IV in ur arm in the vein . IV only stays until u leave the hospital but the port is permanent. Thank God cause I have poor veins so this makes it easy. This is where they draw blood from also. I’m doing ok. I for another treatment on Tuesday and see the Dr. on Thursday. It should be a good report unless something changes from the time they draw the blood until I see Thursday. Wish me luck! Hope all is well with you and I’m glad to hear u’re doing better. Please keep me informed and let me know how u’re doing! Let me know how u’re reacting to the pill. Remember everyone reactions differently u may end up being surprised. All these pills have side effects but I guess the good must out weigh the bad. How long are u supposed to be on it? Good luck and let me know what happens! Mary Z.❤️
