Stinging sensation in armpit/breast

Hello,

I'm about to go into surgery next week to have a lump removed in my left breast (precancerous). I've had three lots of manographs and 3 biopsies over a 6 week period. Since these tests I've had a stinging sensation in my armpits going into both breasts? It's been my first experience of having mamographs etc... and was wondering if ligaments can be pulled or anything to do with nerve ends? Anyone else had this symptom after having mammograms? Thank you 

  • Hello and thanks for posting

    I am sorry to hear about your upcoming surgery and the symptoms you are currently having.

    It is quite common to feel some pain and discomfort for a little while after multiple mammograms and breast biopsies as you have been pulled, prodded and poked about.

    Hopefully this will settle soon, do take some pain killers to see if this helps if it is becoming unbearable and mention it to your doctor if it worsten's or doesn't go away.

    Others may pop on here and share there stories with you but it is likely this is linked to the tests you have been having.

    Wishing you all the best and do get back if you have more questions.

    Take care

    Naomi
