Infection in wound where Lymph node’s removed

My pal has exactly the same issue as you..I’m trying to get her to come on this Forum..I know she had to up the antibiotics and did end up in A&E..if I find out more info will let you know. Best wishes xx

Oh no that’s not good. I’ve also been put on stronger antibiotics, today is the most painful it has been. I hope your friend recovers quickly xx

Spoke to friend who also was put on stronger antibiotics and has at last after 2 weeks got on top of it. Can now lift her arm and movements are less painful. Thnx to the breast nurse and A&E. they say it was a horrible infection due to a cut possibly made by bra.. hope yours is manageable and dissipates soonest…x

Hi Valleyside

i had surgery one month ago and I am experiencing pain and redness on my breast and under my arm, my surgeon wasn’t too concerned and said it would clear up with antibiotics. I started taking them 3 days ago and the pain has lessened considerably but there is still a lot of redness. My nurse said if it doesn’t clear up to contact her so I will on Thursday if it’s still the same. 
Good luck at your check up we will all get through this together.

Thank you Tavares for the info and for taking the time to contact your friend. Today is only my 1st day on the stronger antibiotics, hopefully they will begin to work soon. Give your friend my best wishes xx

Thank you Glowinggift for your reply. I am seeing the nurse on Tuesday, hopefully she can take a look and give me some advice xx
