Hello,
I had breast cancer in 2023 and completed my treatment in 2023. I had surgery including removal of 23 lymph nodes.
I've noticed over the last 3 weeks I'm getting a sharp pain on the side my cancer was the pain almost feels like a burning sensation or like a nip. It lasts around a second and disappears. There's no pattern and it doesn't stop me doing anything. It happens around 5 to 10 times a day. I feel like it's more swollen at that side, not noticeable.
I did feel like this had settled and then i went trampolining with my children at the weekend and it's started again.
I didn't know if this was the start of some lymphedema?
I'm trying not to worry but I'm also really worried....
Just hoping someone has had something similar and can offer some reassurance.
Thanks
Jess x
