Could it be from swelling in the area ? I read that many times that there is edema from the surgery itself. They told me when I have surgery and they remove the nodes that I will have to avoid activ...
Thank you for the question. The answer varies depending on who you listen to. After my surgery and treatments, I was told not to lift over 5 pounds with the arm in question to help prevent lymphedema....
