my ankles/legs are really swollen, I saw my plastic surgeon today to have my drainage tube removed (breast reconstruction surgery on Mon., 3 MAR). He said that i had pitted edema and it was probably from the fluids during surgery, go home and keep my feet up above my hips. My L under arm area was sore and then my entire arm began to hurt on the way home. Now my whole body hurts, my legs are still swollen, my neck feel stiff/hurts and i notice the area under my chin is swollen and hurts. I m not taking any new meds or anything.
