Hello,
I had a my mastectomy and full node clearance 6 weeks ago and the last few days have started getting numbness all the way down my arm and into my little finger and 4th finger. It has been worse at night but always there and makes actions like sprinkling difficult with my right hand. I mentioned it in passing when I was speaking tot eh hurse about something else on the phone and now the surgeon wants me in urgently for bone and full body scan in the morning. I am now wondering why all the fuss and had just thought that the numbness was an extension of the numbness I already had in chest underarm and shoulder area since surgery. Has anyone any similar experiences or know what the scans are looking for as I wasnt told anything?!
Impossible to say, but numbness could be nerve issues from the chemo or surgery? It sounds like they are being thorough. I had a bone scan a couple of years ago because of shoulder pain which later turned out to be a rotator cuff tear. Fingers crossed
