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
My right mastectomy and clearance was 8 months ago and I still have residual numbness, upper right arm especially going around the outside and back of the arm and near the scar area while some of the immediate numbness and stranger feelings did eventually resolve. I don’t notice it much now as I got used to it!
My BS said Pre op this was going to be unavoidable, but should not affect range of movement etc. I had seroma formation that settled reasonable quickly and cording that came on suddenly 6-8 weeks post op when on the red devil. Apparently the inflammation from the chemo is a factor.
