I developed cellulitis following a lymphedema flare up of my left arm. I was very poorly in hospital for three weeks. Followed by removal of my breast implants to allow the cellulitis to clear 100%. It was more frightening the infection than my initial treatment of chemo etc. I really thought I was going to die when I developed cellulitis. Thankfully three years later I’m fighting fit once again. Very informative, thank you.
Dr Rohan is one of the best Dr. In breast cancer he advises Exercise of Arms after surgery that's very imp. One should follow to avoid Lymph dema problem one should follow

I need your suggestion to reduce my hand swelling.
Very Valuable information sir many books write just Physiotherapy , they don't explain properly what sort of physiotherapy to be given !! Sir keep continuing making videos of such sorts in future too
@@dranshul9276 no but physiotherapy is also imp part need to be considered after surgery which many neglect , I am Dr only , these sort of exercises are the advice which need to be given to patients properly by Dr only
@@amalroy1509 ha so I guess physiotherapist is the right person who can suggest this exercise right? As Oncology requires multidisciplinary approach . What's ssay ?
I will have the third visit tomorrow God's willing. Fluid still draining. I pray it will be done by tomorrow please God. So I can have the Reservoir remove.
Thank you Doctor and Nurse! Good timing, my wife gets a mastectomy in 2 weeks and she can't get into physical therapay for a month. Subscribed, gratefully.
Great thank you, our surgeons do not tell us all about this issue. I just have numbness in the back of my upper arm. Sometimes liquid add up around the surgical site I was given reparil tablets to release extra fluids. Of course after radiation therapy around the surgery tissue became an irregular shape and very hard, how can this be resolved, does massage help? Is it true castor oil can break up the hard tissue.
My mom 60 just got Operated with SMAC (Simple Mastectomy Axillary Clearance). Can you please provide a comprehensive list of exercises that can help control/avoid Lymphedema, thank you

Please advice. I had bilateral mastectomy 4 yrs ago. And most lymphnodes were removed on the left side. My left arm near the armpit is still a bit numb and there are times that its painful.. What exercises i should do.
Sir I had my bilateral mastectomy on 7 dec 2022 . I had invasive lobular carcinoma when i did my mri in my left breast and dome duspicios lesion in my right which was not proved in trucut biopsy. So prophylactically removed both. Both my sons are docs elder doing md radiodiahnosis 3rd yr pg and my younger derm pg so i gained little knowledge about the disease through them. My doubt is about doing the exercise with the drain tubes. When i lift my arms above i get pain in the drain tube inserted area so is it necessary to start excercise immediately after surgery or shall i wait till the tubes removed
I just had my surgery on January 16, I was giving exercises to do every day. My restrictions not to lift my arms pass my shoulders at all, no reaching down or over my head at all. Think like you have T-Rex short stubby arms.

Can do exercise while using arm stockings?
Yes
what if patient is suffering from wrist fracture?
How do I know if I hav lymphedema.
I hav pain n swelling on my side which had mastectomy. My arm feels
painful sometimes
You need to get a measurement done from your treating doctor or physiotherapist
How about those who had bilateral mastectomy. How could go about needles and blood pressure.
Please ask your doctor if they saved the lymph nodes on one side. If yes, you can use it, otherwise use the chemoport
I did my operation two years ago .but that time i don't know about exercise but now I feel my hands become swelling. What can I do?
Start with the exercises and please contact your doctor to get an arm sleeve
If swelling happens is it possible it will be ok ?
