Re: Sentinel Node Biopsy and Lymphedema Risk
Thanks! I will use my other arm for blood draws and blood pressure from now on. My left arm has always felt like it is slightly asleep ever since I had my SNB surgery, but other than that, I don't have any swelling that I can see.
I also like to lift heavy weights. And I love my hot sauna in winter. I guess that I can keep doing those things? Is it possible that I could just wake up one day with a swelled up arm?
