Does anyone know if it is ok to wear a watch or bracelets after node surgery? I have read that any pressure could induce swelling. I have been given a card saying I cannot have injections or blood pressure testing on that arm.
Hi Draw welcome to the forum and as far as I am aware it is ok to wear a watch or bracelets on the arm where you have had the surgery.
I cant think that either of these items would cause any pressure, whereas having blood pressure taken would involve creating pressure on the arm or when having blood taken.
Hope that helps you?
