3 years after mastectomy and 2 lympth nodes removed ,some nights I cant get slept for sharp needle like pains, i also can feel a small lump. I dont want to bother Dr, if it's nothing to worry about. Thank you

    go see your doctor, who will be able to tell you if you have need to worry or not. You have been through enough trauma in the last 3 years without having to add being worried about recent symptoms. The Doctor will not feel bothered by you asking for an appointment.

    I am sorry to learn you are having symptoms that are causing you concern. Unfortunately, we cannot say what is causing the discomfort and as Ed has mentioned, it is best to be safe and get checked. It might be worth contacting your breast specialist nurse for advice or you could speak with your GP.
