I don’t know if I have joined the right group. I have had axillary clearance of the lymph nodes
Hi I am sure you have joined the right group, it's just a little early on a Sunday morning so it's a bit slow for replies. Are you struggling with lymphoedema symptoms? If you have questions or want some advice you can ask on here. Best wishes
Hello Irishgirl16, thank you very much for your quick response. I had 12 lymph nodes removed in 2016 and have not been tolerating the wearing of the compression sleeve very well and tend to get headache at night when I take my compression bra off at night. Is this normal ?
