Because of the severe bone/muscle/abdominal pain and all of the stress my fiance bought me a 90-minute massage.

Manual Lymphatic Drainage is a form of massage that stimulates the lymphatic system with gentle massaging strokes.

ve been told the fascia needs to be loosen at my scar area, and that the lymphatic fluid needs to find an alternate route to drain since I had axillary node dissection and removal of 2/3 or my nodes. The arm pit area towards the back is poofy... the scar that ends at the arm pit seems stiff still and the scar area on top of my chest is still somewhat stiff. I'm not sure if the discomfort is normal, or if this is the start of lymphedema -- my arm seems to be OK.

Sorry to say, exercise, elevation, compression, and/or lymphatic massage is the best help. Do you know how to do the lymphatic massage? Do you have a sleeve and gauntlet?

When my arm aches (and it doesn't ache a lot but when it does it really hurts), the massage and elevation are the best remedies. Sometimes I'll take some Motrin if it's bad.

a condition involving a length of the lymphatic system. It will resolve itself in time and you might get some additional information by putting the term "Cording" in search. You could also mention it to your Dr. but I'll tell you that some Dr.s don't even believe this exists; my Surgeon being one of them. .. :).

It is also imperative to keep your lymphatic system well running, as your body MUST process efficiently the waste from the die-off and chemical by-products , neurotoxins from LD along with all the other "normal" clean-up work! Proper breathing (visit the normal breathing website) is extremely important as it engages the Thoracic Duct - the largest lymph vessel- Physical activity stimulates the lymphatic system.

Any time the lymphatic system is compromised / interferred with, the flow of lymphatic fluid can be compromised also which may cause a swelling below that area. You might want to have this investigated by either your Dr. or a Physical Therapist who is trained in the treatment of Lymphedema. You don't mention the time lapse between the removal of the nodes and the swelling and if the removal was very recent this might resolve itself on it's own but I'd still have it ck.d out.

You may have had an infection in the mastoid sinus (behind the ears) which caused the first lymph gland to swell. From that point it may be overloading your lymphatic system, causing the other glands to become sore.

) I, like you, had about 20 lymph nodes removed and most of them were cancerous. Jennifer explained that the lymphatic system sort of resembles the vascular system in that it is spread out throughout the body. The lymph nodes themselves are connected through/by lymphatic vessels. Our surgeons removed the nodes but he/she did not remove most of the vessels. In turn, just like is true for other tissue, those vessels become scar tissue, and scar tissue builds up over time.

I was thinking that perhaps you were thinking about the lymphatic system when you talk about fluids and toxins, because that is what the lymphatic system does. it is also true that this major important system has pretty much been ignored in the US and little about it is taught in Medical School.

What happened was that the radiation may have caused some damage to the lymphatic system/drainage of the breast that can give you this sore feeling. These damage to the tissues would usually resolve over time, but the time varies from one person to another as each person reacts uniquely and differently to radiation (some can have symptoms for up to 2 years). However, i would still suggest that you have this looked at by your surgeon to rule out other causes such as a possible infection.

According to my doc, he said that the injection was to follow the path of the lymphatic drainage system from the nipple to the armpit. From there he would pinpoint where the injection landed in the first lymph nodes it found. I had 1 node positive. Perhaps other SNBs were done differently because of their location in relation to another lymphatic flow, perhaps deeper in the tissue? Just guessing here. At any rate, what course of treatment are you going to go through?

Lymph nodes are, from what I understand, swollen when your immune system has been fighting a bacterial infection (which Lyme is), because the job of the lymph system is to haul away all the trash left behind by your body fighting off and killing an infection. The lymphatic system is parallel to the blood stream, but the function of the lymph glands has to do not with taking nutrients to the cells in your body (as the blood does) but to transport other stuff.

t do anything that would endanger the arm and present infection. The lymphatic system is what flushes out fluids and infections. However, having said that...in cases where you cannot get blood from anywhere else (ie running out of veins in the good side), you can take a chance (knowing that there is a possibility of infection) and draw from that side where the lymph has been removed. I've done it once, only because I had already had the other side tapped so much that day.
