Lymph drainage post op
Hi all, I am three weeks post-op following axillary dissection and still have drain in recording 100 mis a day. Just wondering if anyone has experienced this?

They took my axillary drain out after only a week or two and I think it should have been left in longer as it started swelling and eventually burst through the old drain hole. I cleaned it up and reported it but they didn't think it was a problem but I ended up weekly for 3 weeks lining up at emergency to get it drained. They strapped my chest in a huge pressure dressing, trying to make it settle down and it did...eventually.
