Re: Is it normal to have a swollen gland....

[Guest guest]

A swollen lymph gland isn't anything to be concerned

about as long as it doesn't become a permanent

thing... It's just a sign your body is doing what it's

supposed to do.

Gently massaging it towards the heart, or using a

trampoline can help.

One swollen lymph gland I had was on the left side of my neck. It was

hard as a rock. I went to the family doctor, and then to a general

surgeon. Both told me that it was merely a " scarred " like node that

had been filled with repeated infections from ear, nose, and throat

infections of the past that it simply would never go down. They

assured me it was benign, and that it was harmless. That was about 2

years ago.

When I had my explant surgery, within 24 hrs. of the implants being

removed, that hard, so-called scarred lymph node began to drain. My

left breast was the more difficult one, and the implants themselves had

shifted some and I could feel the implants under the skin under my left

breast. It had the more difficult time before and after surgery.

So, is it normal? Most doctors would tell you sure thing, no problem,

all benign.

Is it related to implant problems? Mine was, and I will only speak for

ME and my experience. My node was larger than a pea, and hard and

frightening, because I thought it was a tumor or something. I can just

barely barely find it now, and it continues to heal. Jackie

Don't you just love the way these doctors concoct

stories to explain things? I've lost faith in most of

them! What if the node had been malignent? Do they

just say " Oops? "

I'm thrilled you are getting better so quickly after

your explant. . . You're going to do fine!

Oh:

I have had those several times over the years too--and gone to the doc

about it. It is common after an infection (like bronchitis). It

should go down soon.

One other thing, you can massage it by “milking” it downward to help get things moving.
