My hands swelled about a year ago. Had mris of wrist and hands. Painful but neg Ana and rheumatoid arthritis. Dr. Said sometimes does not show in blood. Took prednesone at first and plquenil. Pain went away. Still have bumps on top of hands. Got off prednesone and just take methetrexate folic acid and plquenil. No pain and no swelling of hands. I am going to have a few drops of cortisone put in top of hand bumps away from tendons. Doc said it will reduce bumps. The breast cancer thru me for a loop. I just am dealing with seroma under left arm. I just have to have it aspirated no. 8 on Friday. It less and less cc's every time. My breast surgeon offered surgery under arm and drain. I said no. The aspiration and compression is less invasive. I can tolerate til seroma heals. I would like to know if anyone else had a seroma and what they did to get rid of? I have had for a month since lymph node biopsy (neg) aspirating 62 first time. 7th time 9cc. 8th time Ccs on Friday.? Hopefully 5 ccs. Ultra sound shows it is healing. Good luck to me.
