lymphodoema question.

Last reply: 21 October 2015 11:50

Hi, just looking for advice. I had lymph nodes removed about two years ago, had a touch of lymphodoema, but v mild, got it checked at hospital physio but never heard about another appointment and it seemed ok, so plodded along. Now my hand is swollen like tendonitis. Going to check with GP but just thought I'd see if anyone has had this? Would physio be the way forward?

Hi
You should probably ring the breast care nurse for advise because if it is lymphoedema the sooner you see physio the better.
