When will my upper arm feel normal after mastectomy with axillary clearance?
My op was 10 weeks ago. Physio tells me my arm is normal. Zozo measurement ok. I'm told nerve damage. My arm feel bigger and like something is tight around it. I have a small amount of cording
Hi @Abbydog My mx and anx clear was Nov 2018. My upper arm still feels swollen and numb. It is normal size. I have gotten used to the feeling. Putting on deodorant is always an interesting exercise though. I usually overdo it as I can’t feel it going on and end up with it dripping wet. I now apply it in front of a mirror. There is a lot of things they don’t tell you prior to your treatments. Unfortunately we have to learn as we go. Just as well we have this forum, it has been a mind saver for me.
