I am sorry to hear you have been experiencing acute nerve pain and that this is persisting 4 years post surgery. I hope that you will hear from other members of our community who have dealt with similar nerve pain after a bilateral mastectomy. You might be interested in reading the information on our website on possible problems after a mastectomy and nerve pain is indeed listed in there. Talk to your doctor about it if you haven't done so already or if you feel that things are not improving and the pain is affecting your daily life as your doctor will be able to advise you and perhaps give you suggestions or medication that helps with nerve pain.
Feel free also to give our cancer nurses a call on this free number 0808 800 4040 - their line is open Monday to Friday from 9am to 5pm and they will be happy to answer questions you may have on nerve pain after a mastectomy and to talk things through with you.
