Dear lovely group,
I had a right hemicolectomy last year with 21 lymph nodes removed. I now seem to have a permanently swollen right (only) ankle. Has anyone else experienced this? I am wondering if it could be lymphoedema?
Since the surgery I also have microscopic colitis which may also be related. I don't want to bother the very busy medics until my next appointment and hence was wondering if anyone else has experienced this?
Thanks for your responses, Andrea
Hi Hubbles
I think this is worthy of bothering them with . I have seen people mention it before . In fact my husbands aunt has experienced it after abdominal surgery. Which is super annoying as no lymph nodes were removed . I think you should let your consultant know whilst you have them around .
We also have an Ask an Expert section where you could speak to one of the nurses . Can take a day or two to reply .
I will link it in for you .
You sound lovely but you do need to ask at times .
Take special care ,
