How long do I have to wait till I can be active again with working out or playing sports after a lipoma removal from the thigh right above the knee bend? I believe they said it was 5x5x3? and I'm a week from post-surgery.
Its been one week after my lipoma surgery.The size was 6x8cm.I stopped taking my Gabapentin due to depression it was causing.I now only take muscle relaxers.Im under constant care of my diagnosing neurologist for the fibromyalgia.I never really can tell my pain anymore.Is it real or just heightened nerves from the FMS?All I know is I have a huge void,Im a dental assistant, and my arm aches and throbs all day since surgery:with or without use.Of course, more pain with use.What can I do?
My surgery was on Thurs. August 10, and I am having a very, very small amount of drainage. I still have swelling and I am still sore is this normal? Do I need to worry about the fluid inside?
Last week I had surgery to remove a lipoma on my upper thigh. For a week I had a draining tube in. A week later they removed it and said it will drain through the hole that the tube was in. Well now the hole has sealed up and the area i had surgery on Is swollen and all red and hurts when it's touched. Will it drain by itself and break through the hole?
I had a 3cm lipoma removed off my forehead 6 days ago. After surgery the site was flat, 2 days later my eye swelled, and now at day 5 and 6 there is a swollen lump after the stiches were taken out. Will my incision site go flat? Scared I will have a new lump. How do I help the swelling?
I had a very large lipoma removed below my neck. I had a drain but it did not work well and it had to be removed 2 days after. I have a lot of fluid still collecting and leaking out of my whole from the drain. My surgon told me he is not sure what to do with my issue. The pressure causes me pain so much i don't feel the pain from my insticstion. I am at a loss for what to do and i think my dr. is to any help would be apprciated.
I had successful Lipoma removal surgery from the back of my head 5 days ago. It was a fairly good sized lipoma about 4.5cm long. I have mostly been wearing a compression bandage since surgery. i have it off now and notice hardened swelling around the incision. My doctor says this is normal. Is it ok for me to lay on the incision or is it better to keep pressure off? It is kind of sore to lay with pressure against the pillow, but I can handle the soreness if it will help with healing?
