I had my lumpectomy and lymph node biopsy a week tomorrow.   Pain was ok until Friday I stretched to pick something up and got a awful pain in my armpit which I still have today.  Can't see anything.   Has anyone else done anything similar. 

  • Hi Poucha, are you doing the arm exercises?  Mine was painful when I stretched initially but is not too bad now so long as I keep doing the exercises.  I had a day off and felt the twinges again.

  • Yes I normally sleep with my arms above my head and one night I just threw them up in my sleep and the pain was horrendous - I leapt out of bed!  It did hurt for a few days - I kept doing the exercises really gently.  I would suggest giving your team a call if it’s still as painful and not improving.
