What Causes Abdomen Arteries Inflammation, Legs Swelling With Pain After A Mastectomy?
I had a bilateral mastectomy and expanders put in on August 15, 2014. Since then I have notices some inflammed arteries/nerves in my abdomen and under my bra line. In addition by the end of the day my lower legs and ankles are swollen and hurt. I did not have any lymph nodes removed. Any idea what is going on? I had a CT scan on my abdomen and nothing abnormal was seen.
