Drainage am I going crazy?
Hi all
i had a mastectomy on right breast and auxiliary clearance three weeks ago Wednesday. First drain out no issues. Second drain removed earlier than should have been as it was sitting on a nerve. I was still getting 250-300 ml a day. Been to see surgeon once to get it drained. Needed to get it done again last Friday but could only see gp. She hadn’t done it before so tried three times. Third time lucky but didn’t get it all. I am phoning surgeon first thing tmrw to get it done tmrw ( holiday here today). I still have lots of fluid and now it feels like it has hardened in some spots. I’m swollen And in pain. Having trouble coping with all this tonite. Has anyone had this? The actual mastectomy was fine but I have had issue after issue from aux clearance. It’s all overwhelmed me right now.
