Hi everyone, hope you on good spirits
Wondering if anyone has suffered with lower back pain after lumpectomys, I had it months ago but started getting back pain really bad
Would like to know if this is normal
Hi Retired Lady
I'm sorry to hear you've been having back pain. I've only just had my surgery and I'm unsure if anyone has experienced back as a result of a lumpectomy.
I would encourage you to speak to your GP or breast care nurse to get it checked out. It could be something totally unrelated but I know when I was diagnosed I was having back pain and they sent me for scans to see if it was to do with my breast cancer - it wasn't luckily and I found out I had sciatica. So likewise your back pain could just be a coincidence but so important to get checked.
