Question:
I had my arms done may 26th

I was wanting to ask post op plastic surgery patients .. after you had your arms done, did you have any problems with your lymphatic system? I have problem with my arms swelling and pain near my elbow.. Anyone else out there have this problem? I seem to live in my compression sleeves, but once i take them off, my arms swell and hurt.. Thank you for your help..    — itsmekaren (posted on August 4, 2004)

sorry you are having so many problems, did the surgeon go way up uder ur armpit ? sometimes the nerves are affected, thats normal for a while, but the swelling thats occuring I didnt have , much less no compression sleeves, within 2 weeks my arms were almost back to normal. I would suggest you return to the PS as soon as you can , something is going on there that needs to be addressed....Sandy
