Breast swelling
Hi to everyone. I'm from Vic and we're having more humidity than I recall from previous summers. Our summers are normally hot and dry.
I had a mastectomy with immediate reconstruction in 2015 changeover surgery later that year.
Come forward to 2017 and the humidity is giving me curry. No I don't have lymphodema but I am suffering swelling around the implant.
Remedial massage today and I was reminded of the trauma our nervous and lymphatic system go through with our surgeries.
She also commented that a slight back ache could suggest the kidneys are working hard due to excessive sweating and slight dehydration as a result. Saline is good for that.
The humidity is the main cause and to expect the swelling spasmodically for a few years yet.
Just needed to moan. Between side effects from medication I am reminded that BC just keeps giving.
Take care
