Hi I had lumpectomy but only sentinel node removed and clear
i had sharp shooting pain at site of wound and where node was taken. Started about few weeks after surgery which was in august 2021. It has been away now a while and I very occasionally get wee twinge now and then. I also still have some numbness where they did small reconstruction. BCN says all normal as nerves will still be growing back .
it’s maybe what you are having but always let your onc or BCN know so they can reassure you xx
