normal swelling?

normal swelling?

Had a lumpectomy about a week ago.  Still have some swelling under the arm from the lymph node dissection.  Weird thing it...I also have a bulge on the side of my waist on that side.  Normal?

I don't know why you would have swelling that far down and I would have that ck.d out by your Surgeon. After only a week you can certainly expect some swelling ..... what you describe may have something to do with the lymph node dissection but I would ask about it anyway.   Regards ....
