I had masectomy in one breast last year and reconstruction through tram flap.Twice I got rashes in my arm..once due to a cut and second time, I probably slept on it.
Recently , I got a rash on my treated breast and chills and fever as it happened earlier too! So, I am again on antibiotics.
Does anyone else find it difficult to deal with the unpredictability of lymphedema despite being precautious?
I didn't know I could get on my breast too, did anyone have similat experience?
Is it lymphedema or fluid accumulation . For me post lumpectomy when an Ultrasound was done there was fluid noticed in the treated side but unfortunately where I am getting treated the surgeons don’t do aspiration unless it’s very severe.
I had fluid accumulation for first few months but that wld go with physio exercises. This is different...infection... redness..inflammation.. fever...chills...
Is your infection improving? If not, get back to your doctor! Let us know how you are doing.
Thanks. It has improved. I am on seven days course of antibiotics. So far, so good!
Sorry to learn that .But same happened to my wife .Oedema of breast and arm !
But treated early it disappeared,with physiotherapy.And true,it's unpredictable .
It should go away with arm exercises, get well soon, my wife to had fluid accumulation but with arm exercises it faded away
Thank you everyone for ur concern. I am fine now after a 7 day course of antibiotics.
