Hello,
I had a Sentinel lymph node biopsy 11 days ago and have now come up very swollen and bruised in the tummy, abdomen, inner thigh and labia areas (more on one side thant the other). Due to the current situation I was asked to send photographs to my care team who have said is this is 'normal' and will subside.
I am lucky in that have no drains and dissolvable stitches, however am in a lot of discomfort/some pain - the slightest movement hurts. Any advice out there on how to manage this?
Hi
I'm afraid that I can't help with how to manage the pain you're in from your SLNB but I noticed that your post hadn't had any replies.
Do you have a CNS who you could call for advice? If not, you could post your question in ask a nurse and one of the specialist nurses will aim to respond within 2 working days.
I do hope that you can get the pain under control soon.
