Is Lymphoedema Curable With Removed Lymph Nodes?
I had reconstructive surgeries done last year - removal of excess skin and had my arms done. I believe I have lympoedema as I believe the surgeon removed lymp nodes unnecessarily. What happens if there is no cure for the edema - this is very painful. what should i do

hi you had removal of excess skin and had your arms done. You have a suspicion that that your lymph nodes have been unnecessarily removed and you have lymphoedema. In my opinion you should consult your surgeon as to why it has been removed and what is the treatment for it now.I am sure he will help you .
