Oh gosh how awful

Ive got to.have all my lympth nodes removed  and a lumpectomy, this is worrying me now. 

Hope i dont experience this , you poor lady 3yrs is a very long time to suffer  .I hope others who have had this procedure done who are not suffering can come on.and reasure me that this isnt always the case.

But i do hope you can get some help, maybe some more physio mighr be needed. X

Hi there!

Catlady,

I would suggest that you raise this with your GP and also at your next open access follow up session as it sounds like you're suffering unnecessarily and am sure there's something that can & should be done to alleviate your pain.

Jassoscared,

To reassure you I had a lumpectomy LHS, mx RHS with separate op for RHS node clearance mid March this year, its is really uncomfortable to start with (though not painful for me) with the upper part of RHS arm left quite numb as nerves were cut (please ask if they will need to/are likely to do this to you as it was a surprise to me after the event!).  3 months on and discomfort is pretty much settled and the feeling in upper arm is definitely returning..amazing how the body rebuilds & recovers after such trauma!

Now all I need is for seromas to be reabsorbed, but these are more annoying than anything else.

Good luck to you both

Sam
