History: Bilateral Masectomies For Breast Cancer. Done In 2 Separate
history:
bilateral masectomies for breast cancer. done in 2 separate surgeries, 3 months apart.
- I have ehlers-Danlos Syndrome, Hypermobility type.
-there is what my General Practioner thinks [after ultrasound examination] to be a haematoma, most probably "organising" [what is that? hardening?]
- the dimensions are approx 8cm with a depth of up to 2.5 cm
- it is situated in an area that is 'in the way' of my arm swinging 'normally' when I walk
-it hurts [my pain scale does not really correlate with the "1-10", as my 'normal' is a 4-6]
-local anaesthetics don't seem to work, so any aspiration will be done without
- any advice? I'm not in a good fead space ATM at the thought of the possible aspiration in 48 hrs time?
please, and thanks for reading so much
