I've experienced swelling to my knee and ankle on the opposite side to my surgery on day 15 post surgery. Has anyone else experienced this? I'm worrying my lymphatic system has been damaged. I have normal expected swelling to my chest and under arm and am managing my exercises ok and pottering around and doing short walks. I feel generally well. I'm going to contact my breast nurse tomorrow.
