Pleased you mentioned truncle lymphodema, I complained about soreness in my back, bra marks on one side only were big indentations. I had to google to find out what was going on. Finally I told my Oncologist what it was, then had to go to GP to get referral. Breast surgeon said I would not get Lymphodema??
I had cording all down my side, I couldn't sit in the car with the hard seat on my back, under my arm was so puffy and painful. I am now on top of it with help from the Physio and swimming. The pool is the best treatment that I have found, even once a week helps to keep on top of things.
So if any other ladies are experiencing this keep going until you get help.
I was told it was excess breast fluid? When I asked where this fluid came from the answer was it is edema, fluid from the lymphatic system?? UK and USA sites are on top of truncle lymphodema but not here in Aussie.
