Leg pains two weeks after surgery

Hi Sonny09

Just to be on the safe side, if you haven't already it would be a good idea to phone your SCNS today and explain what you are feeling in your leg.

Let me know how you get on

I will have to go through my pack and see who I need to phone. To be fair since the diagnosis I have been noticing a lot more aches and pains, I think if I hadn't had the diagnosis I wouldn't have thought anything of it, thank you again for your advice I greatly appreciate it.

It's definitely true Sonny09 that once you've had a cancer diagnosis you seem to notice every little ache and pain and worry that it's connected.

Counting down the hours to my appointment on friday, what a long week it's been 

Phoned the hospital today, and they said the pains in my leg would most likely be down to minor nerve damage.

Hi Sonny09, when I had my lymph node removed in March I had a pain a few weeks later which the hospital said was likely nerve damage. They said you don’t feel it at the time but it comes when the nerves start to knit together and would likely disappear in a few weeks if I’m lucky, and I was it has now gone. 

Good to hear that your pains are likely to be nerve damage Sonny09. After I'd had a WLE and SLNB on my arm it felt numb for quite a while afterwards but gradually this feeling disappeared.

All the best for tomorrow and let us know how you get on.

Will do, thank you for your support.

I think it will be a long night, hope I get to sleep, at least I have got a list of questions sorted for the appointment and my wife has started to see that it could have been so much worse
