Surgery on "taboo" arm
Hi, Just wondering if anyone has had experience with the need to have orthopaedic surgery on the arm that had most lymph nodes removed at time of mastectomy? I also have mets in my sacrum. My last...
Kathleen I was clever and fell and broke my affected arm ... all nodes removed suffer from lymphodema in that arm...
I can tell you that it was not a nice experience for me took months for me to heal and also to gain a bit of control over the lymphodema.
For me it was a plate and pins and about 3months in a cast as not healing well at the time.
Hope this helps
