I had my mastectomy, lft side, in January. Previously i have had 2 ops to remove lymph nodes under the arm. I now find my left arm has nerve damage which means I can't use it properly and three of my fingers tingle all the time. I am waiting for physio but wodner if anyone else had the same and had any tips.

  • My BCN told me the nerve damage would get better. I’ve only had one op but even after 3 weeks I’ve quite sore and swollen. I find it difficult to chop up vegetables, knit, write or do anything that involves moving the arm a lot. A heart shaped cushion has helped with the discomfort.
