Hi Eleanor,
I had to go to a PT to learn about lymphadema and had therapy for my range of motion after my masectomy.
The PT told me that if you catch it early like you see a red spot or small lump, to call right away and that (I think Keflex) or another type of big guns antibiotic will stop it right away. You take it for a few days.
Why that would work? I don't know. Just thought I would share it with you. Hope it gets better. take care k
