Lymphatic Fluid

There should be a lymphoedema nurse at your local hospital who can advise you on the best course of action.

There's also a lymphoedema group on here somewhere.

hi there .. if there is any sign of infection your gp should prescribe an antibiotic which should keep leakage under wraps .. however .. lymph glands do fill up with fluid and this will happen especially after removal .. it should clear up with aspirations (however i understand that you dont want a nedly constantly stuck in you .. especially near your wound site) this should clear up in time although  understand its not the most comfortable thing to be going through .. the body will adjust to the removal of your gland

Thanks danensis will talk to my nurse when I see her later this week.  Thanks Jillianm am on antibiotics for infection thankfully no pain just feels like a balloon under my armpit! Am sure my body will readjust... eventually :) xx

antibx should help with the inflammation .. and eventually your body should calm down .. remember uv had a big op and your body is just trying to protect you :)
