Need info on post op TT & arms fluid build up

I'm 2 weeks post op TT & arms. I got my last drain tube out yesterday (from pubic area). The dr also aspirated 10 cc of clear fluid from a golf-ball size pocket in my arm by my elbow. I have fluid in the other arm in the same place, but not as much, so he didn't touch it. The pocket that he drained filled up last night and is now even bigger. I called the DR this morning, spoke to his nurse who said just to keep an eye on it for redness and fever. (He didn't think it was necessary for me to come in to get it drained nor be put on antibiotics as precausion.) Well, tonight I found another pocket of fluid, this one in my arm pit. Anyone else have this and NOT have it aspirated? It's uncomfortable and I'm so very afraid of what could happen if it stays in me... any info would be most appreciate. Thank you.
