Hi there, I was wondering if after axilliary clearance that i should insist on not having any needles or blood pressure reading taking from the arm. I am due in hospital soon and wonder if it resonable for me not to allow them to use my arm.

Protect the at risk arm
I am not a licensed healthcare professional; however I am familiar with the guidelilnes that you should never allow blood pressure reading, blood draw, or an injection in the "at risk" arm.
Lymph Notes makes a free wallet card available with these guidelines. To request a card, follow the instructions on the Lymph Notes home page. Best wishes, Ann Last edited by Ann; Mar 21, 2012 at 02:50 AM.
