Rigth Hand Swelling

caall1234 · December 2011

I had a mastectomy over a year ago. Now all of a sudden my right hand is swelling.

Could this be from my Mastectomy?

Caall, the swelling might be from lymphedema. It would be a good idea to be evaluated by a good LE therapist.

If you post your question on the LE forum you should get some helpful answers.

Best of luck.

Hi Caall;

Here's the link the the lymphedema forum that Leah mentioned: http://community.breastcancer.org/forum/64

Also, you might want to check out the Lymphedema section at the main Breastcancer.org site. Of course, the best answer is always to get checked out by your doctor.

Hope this helps!
