I know the advice used to be to avoid the above on.the affected side. However, I have recently seen information on line saying that this is no longer necessary unless you have been diagnosed with lymphedema or have a history of it. I have a condition that causes pain on my unaffected side & hence I wld much rather have injections on my affected (ie breast cancer side). I had 3 nodes removed.
Can anyone clarify the position or say what advice they have been given on this?
