Surgery on arm of lumectomy side?
Has anyone ever had any sort of surgery or procedure done on arm that's the same side of lumpectomy or mastectomy. I am having terrible pain in my wrist and right arm (surgery side) and I had one doctor say it was probably corpal tunnel syndrom . He said I may need surgery in my wrist which would be a very simple incision to relieve pressure. I am worried about lymphodema and thought that any sort of cutting or surgery would be out of the question. But now I am considering because my arm and wrist is radiating so badly. Anyone ever had anything done and it come out OK with no problems..sherryg683
