Seroma

Hi Percy and a very warm welcome to the online community which I hope you'll find is both an informative and supportive place to be.

I was fortunate that I didn't develop a seroma so don't have any experience to share. However, there are quite a few people in the group who have had one and Betful is the most recent person in the group to post about it. I have 'tagged' them into my reply to you and hopefully they'll pop on and share their experiences with you.

Hi there percy, sorry you are in pain with your seroma, i was a bit difficult to you, i had my primary on my shin  wich recovered well, then a spread to my groin lymph nodes, i had the full dissection , but had a lot of trouble with a lot of drainage,eventuallythey took the drain out, but then i had leakage a lot! Then developed seroma and cellulitis and was quite poorly, eventually after being full of antibiotics, and another drain in i came home after 3 weeks, and apart from lymphadaema,wich is a nuisance, but i am not in pain, and cope ok, im 85, i prehaps thing being on your knee must make it awkward for you, and prehaps its still a bit numb, as mine is good luck 

Hi Percy sorry to hear your in pain with your seroma .I had WLE and groin dissection with drain on my right leg .i ended up with a seroma ,Which I had drained .I will say when they drain the seroma ,I didn’t feel anything but relief that the seroma was going down flat  and the discomfort ,and pain had gone .i did have the seroma come back 2 more times and drained again (this won’t happen to everyone)but I didn’t get a infection .take care
