Hi, 

I had five lymph nodes removed just over a year ago. For the past four months the scar has been getting sorer, swollen and more and more painful. I have been told that it is just nerve pain. Has anyone else had a similar experience?

  • Hi Fungarth

    Welcome to the forum and sorry to hear that you had breast cancer.  While I haven't experienced the pain you are experiencing but I thought I'd reply to you to welcome you to the forum and to move you to the top of the discussion.  Hopefully someone will be along shortly with an answer for you.

    Best wishes
