Sharp tingling

Hi Ahrensmum

I'm no expert and I'm 15 days post op for a right breast lumpectomy and axillary node clearance.

I had a drain fitted for 11 of those days. 

When the drain came out and I started to move my arm more. I had like electric shocks well it seems like a sharp stabbing pain under my arm into my breast. 

This the BCN said were normal as tissue and nerves were pulled whilst getting your nodes out. 

I would if your worried mention it to your BCN who will reassure you.

You've done the right thing by coming on here for support

Thank you so much for your reply M. Sending you healing vibes. 

Sounds like something your nerves are doing, and I am guessing, cautiously, that this would fall under, "normal phenomena." However, no harm in contacting your nurse on Monday morning to let her know and see what she says.

I also had the electric shock type pains after lumpectomycand node removal. Assuming nerves, healing process. 8 weeks in now, hardly any pains at all.
