        Hi Suzy,

        I sympathize with you.  I had an intramuscular Myxoma removed from my thigh 12 weeks ago.  I have a seroma the size of a sweet melon.  I don't have medical insurance so have had to go to a government hospital.  They surgeon keeps telling me that the swelling is normal and it is up to me to decide whether to drain or not.  I was only in hospital for 24 hours so the drain was in for a short period of time.  I am soooooooooooo frustrated at the moment.  Still have exteme tightness, pins and needles and hypersensitive skin.  Let me know how things are going, I also need as much advise as I can get.  Just wish I knew what to do.

        Take care and heal fast.

        Regards
