Im 6 months in after operation. Full hysterectomy bladder removal. Several lymph nodes removed from pelvic. And groin area. Last few weeks my right leg as started. To play up. Muscle or nerve problem. Were I couldn’t put weight on. But rested. For a few days. And it got better. Now I’ve noticed two lumps or swelling. On my knee. And ankle. Could it be lymphadema. Or. Wear and tear. Getting out of bed and sofa. On that leg. Many thanks.
Hi Candy girl, I havent had this experience but if you haven't been doing lots of heavy exercise or gardening I think you might talk to your CNS or failing that GP. Until a medic has a look you can't be sure what is causing it. And it is possibly nothing to do with your operation at all.
Good luck,
