lymphedema ?
I did something stupid tonight and carried a very heavy bag of books with the arm on my surgery side. I knew better but did it anyway. Right now my lumpectomy and snb scars hurt like heck and my arm hurts from the weight. So what are the chances of lymphedema occuring? I only had 2 lymph nodes removed. Is this something I really need to be very concerned about? And if I should be what would be the signs to be watching for?
