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
Thanks @Abbydog for bringing this up and others for your feedback. I had double mastectomy and ancillary clearance last Thursday and there is certainty a mixture of numbness, swelling and possibly some nerve pain in my upper arm. I gather it will take time to settle. I expect there is fluid retention too and I notice weird sensations / small spasms in around the ancillary area and upper back.
Cheers
