Lymph node arm swelling question
Can anyone tell me how long it takes for your arm to be fully operational after lymph node removal? I only had two sentinal nodes removed but my underarm is numb, my arm aches at times and I have sw...
If it remains numb forever I'll just have to have it chopped off :P I'm of the opinion that if it doesn't work it doesn't need to be there hehehe..

I'm getting a swelling but it isn't fluidy. Now that I've educated myself a little this morning I'll be working on doing what I should have been doing for the last 4 weeks from today onward.
Massage sounds lovely. I can move my arm very well but I can't rest on that elbow for any length of time and the arm gets tired quickly. I'm getting good at doing things left handed. I wonder though whether I need to have remedial massage rather than just the massage centre in the nearby shopping centre?
