4 week post op mastectomy

I recently had a mastectomy and although my wound is healing I'm still swollen and my skin feels so sore when I touch it. Is this normal

  • Hi there ..

    Think if it still worries you, get your G P or nurse to check it ... I had to have mine drained twice ..  keep an eye if it feels hot to the touch .. sorry we can't help more , as wer not medically qualified... but always worth checking ...  

    If you've had lymph nodes taken, that arm will probly feel quite tender ... welcome to our little chat place ..  always good if you want to vent or just chat ... Chrissie x

  • Thank you Chrissie I will ring docs in morning as it doesn't feel right. I had a mastectomy beginning of last year and never had sore skin.

    It's great to be able to chat with others who know how you feel xx
