    Default Got my breasts done this morning, I have a question!

    My IV was put in my left hand, however, my right hand is stiff and swollen, as well as the lower vicinity of my arm. The left hand feels fairly swollen but not as much as the right one. I've been walking alot so my legs and feet and whatever experienced no swelling at all. I was wondering if maybe this was a side effect of the anesthesia or something else. Anything to help it? I don't know if I should be repositioning it since I'm not supposed to be raising my arm...

    Thanks lots

    Did you call your doctor? That didn't happen to me, but yeah, definitely don't move anything yourself.

    Why are you walking around a lot?

    who did you end up going to?

    What are you doing up? Christ., not to be bitchy .. you just had major surgery, hello?
    Call the doctor.
    Take the drugs
    Keep in close contact with your doctor.
    REST. This is the only way your body will heal.

    On a happier note. HAPPY NEW BOOBIES.
    I hope you heal quickly and with health.

    Good luck!

    I barely even remember the 1st 24hrs, and I can't believe you're up, walking around, typing. Be careful, you're on pain meds, so it's easy to hurt yourself. So many women over do it and need a redo.

    Call the doc, and take it easy!!! (use the excuse to be fed, pampered, read to, w/ev)

    Call your Dr immediately.

    Not trying to scare you, but it could be a blood clot. They do happen to younger women, especially women who smoke & surgery increases the risk. A dancer I knew had one in her arm when she was about 23. An IV of anti-clotting factors took care of it, but it could have been a lot worse.

    Agreed. Call your Dr. Hope you are resting and the issue has been taken care of.

    Just to update you guys, what happened was basically the person taking care of me had left me alone to take care of myself (good friend) then ended up leaving, and the girl who came with us to help out a little had to take over. The problem ended up being that because I was forced to care for myself, my left breast began hemorrhaging, and I had to go back in for a revision surgery.

    PS, anyone know if I can sue her for that? She agreed to be my caretaker and failed miserably. The doctor also said she didn't help with her frequent outbursts and arguing (raising my blood pressure, causing more bleeding).

    Other than THAT, I'm doing well now. =/

    that sucks, she's a shitty friend, but I don't think you can sue for that unless you were paying her.

    Agreed with Emily. I'm glad you've been taken care of now, at least. Rest up and feel better.

    This is an example of why I HIGHLY recommend paying for the overnight nurse care (ask the doc, they'll be able to set you up) for the first 24 hours. This way you can just relax and stay medicated for that first day, which is the worst.
