I had operation 2 days ago to remove DCIS via wide local excision left breast . I was given maximum sickness dose as suffer from sickness generals. As soon as I woke up I had arm pain and couldn't feel lower arm and thumb and finger left and was given morphine. Stayed overnight on ward had no breast pain in hospital but was worried about numbness. Spoke to doctor who said probably got pulled nerve as arm was out during operation and told me ring breast care nurse tomorrow if still no better. When I got home the bruising side breast started coming out and pain. I woke up this morning earache left ear neck pain down to stomach feels like I have been fighting Mike Tyson. Can't use my hand and arm still. Is this normal has anyone else experienced this ? Worried as neighbor told me she had same op a few years ago and went back to work after 2 days! I am in so much discomfort. I'm taking paracetamol every 4 hours
