Hello everyone,
I have a question for you all that. One month after surgery on my breast to remove the big C I've now developed a new problem. I have pain. My Radiation/Oncologist stated that this is fluid build up and I may need an aspiration. Has anyone else had this problem? I'm wondering why this would cause such pain. Is it because I was sewed to tight, etc. I'm curious on how many of us need an aspiration post surgery. Is this on the rise or is this a rare problem...
Hi<
I know this is going to sound crazy but I have been having problems with swelling in my left breast since my surgery and the surgeaon said it is fluid but not enough to worry about. I have been not really in pain since my lumpectomy just very uncomfortable, different aches and pains then I'm used to so yesterday before work I was looking for some tylenol and all I had in my purse was Midol. So I figured what the heck it's got pain meds in it so why not try it can't hurt. Well I felt better yesterday then I have since my surgery on July 2nd. The swelling is starting to go down the pressure is easing up and I have no pain or uncomfortable feeling. the only thing it didn't help was the burning feeling I have when my clothes rub my incision on the breast. I have had a lump and black bruise directly above the incision since the surgery. No worse no better so it's just going to take time to go away I guess. Anyway, try the midol, it can't hurt unless you are in trtmtand are not aloud to take certain things. I have not started trtmt yet so I'm not aware of all the dos and donts. Hope this helps.
