I swear my body likes playing tricks on me.
In the arm that i had my nodes removed, I have this thing that just suddenly popped up in my forarm...I swear it grew to the size of a quarter but in the shape of a ball within minutes. It doesnt hurt or anything and theres no swelling, its just there?
Its Friday nite so i have to wait till monday to even see a doctor, but just wondering if anyone else has had anything similiar to this or am i just having another one of those weird little corks.
Would this be any sign of lmyphedema? Ive heard that it can cause your arm to look lumpy...dont know if thats true or not...just need your advise...thanks!

    Lymphedema
    Hi Jojo, I have had lymphedema for 8 year it has swelled, turned read, been painful, itchy and has had a rash but never lumpy that is new to me. However when we have infections our lymph nodes do swell so perhaps it is a swelling lymph node just trying to fight off an infection that has not yet (and certainly may not) settle in. Just be sure to see your doc on Monday and let us know what the doc says.

    JoJo .. You wild thing .... maybe too much exercising?
    did you pull something? I am concerned - I agree with RE and Donna .. call Onc this week-end get his service to put in a call, and have him/her call you back this week-end -- You've did recently have a high fever - a few weeks ago - going back and forth while your grandfather was hospitalized .. then you had shoulder issues, I am again concerned that you are pushing yourself too hard - Sorry, I yelled at you. I just want you to be safe, and can't figure out another way to let you know.

    I agree
    I agree with the other ladies here. It definitely sounds like something the Dr. needs to see. My guess would be that it is related to lymphedima, if you have not been bitten by a spider or bumped it on anything, or had a burn, or something, but certainly go to your Dr.

    take care, seof
