Help Lympholcele after first rib resection???

Hi guys,
Im having a really hard time, 6 months after surgery im worse than i was before ( I knew it might not work but to feel worse is just unbearable. I had a ultra sound 11 weeks after surgery and the person who did it was shocked to see a hematoma ( i have posted a thread about this) It has now been sugested by a friend who is a doctor that it could be a lympholcele? I have researched it and people who have had a first rib resection by tranxillary approuch like me have 13% chance of getting a Lymphocele.
Has any one had one? And did you have to have it Removed? What were your symptons? I have an awful pressure feeling in my arm, that was not there before surgery.
I am getting really depressed, im losing weight because of stress (lost 10lb from the surgery) put some back on (i only weigh 7st 7 lb!) and i just keep it on. Im on Brutrans patches 15mg and gabapentin 900mg 3 times a day! And im still crying in pain. going to see my GP tomorrow, Had enough!
Would love to hear from any one with advice
