Post-drainage removal

Thank you for your comments, after the painful removal of the drainage tube, I'm reluctant to go back for more poking and piercing, though it was the surgeon and BCN who anticipated this might happen and I have an appointment already booked to see the surgeon. I am seeing a physio tomorrow, I'll see what she thinks. 

The drains just stink.  It is a bit of a lumpy bumpy ride with seromas.  I had a bit different information given to me.  My surgeon was hesitant to drain anything as he said it always recollects with drainage and if I could be patient unless it was exceptionally uncomfortable it's best to let it go down on its own.  Under my arm took about a month to go down.  It's a very weird feeling isn't it  Kind of felt like having a pillow under there and a cross between numb and super sensitive.
I had a monster seroma that was up and down in the breast for about a year.  Made for great cleavage at the start LOL. It finally sorted itself out eventually.

Hope it goes down soon.

Yep, it's really common @Renatha The dread seroma. They can be a pain in the proverbial, but it's just another 'thing' you need to manage. Getting the fluid drained is a bit icky but it's a simple enough procedure.

Get in contact with you surgeon, your breast care nurse (or whom ever warned you about it in the first place):and they will organise to get it drained if they think it is necessary.
Some breast care nurses will do it or you may have to go into medical imaging and someone will stick an ultrasound guided  needle in and aspirate the fluid. Sometimes that only needs to be done once, but seroma can be persistent so don't stress too much if it needs to be done a few times. Marg xxx
