          Sorry to hear you're having problems after surgery. I would contact your surgeon's office and ask to speak with the nurse. If you live close to your surgeon's office maybe they would see you today. 

          Where on your back was the mole removed? What location were your lymph nodes removed from?

          I just had surgery 12/9 and 2 lymph nodes removed in my groin and is real swollen, and so is incision on lower leg. It is scary.
