Hi all, 

I had my WLE on my knee and SLNB on my groin in Sept 2021 and recovered OK. I've returned to work full time and flew 4 times for weekend trips last month. I have noticed uncomfortable feeling, pain that almost feels like muscle strain in the operation area, especially near the lymph nodes behind my knee. No swelling or redness. 

I have an appointment next week with my consultant but was curious if anyone experienced similar thing. 

TIA

  • Hi

    Sorry to read that you're feeling pain around the WLE site and also in the lymph nodes close by. I haven't experience this but wondered if a quick call to talk to your SCNS would help.

    Let me know how you get on

  • Hi Iatchbrook, 

    Yes I called my nurse and she booked me in to see a consultant next week. So bit worried but hoping for the best,

  • It's always worrying when you notice something different but hopefully the consultant will be able to put your mind at rest.

    About 6 months after my WLE and SLNB I noticed a 'spot' right at the end of the SLNB scar. Like you I was worried but the consultant examined it and said it was nothing more than a blocked hair follicle. Boy was I happy!

    Let me know how you get on

    ((hugs))
