Morning
I had my lumpectomy and 2 nodes removed 2nd July and am awaiting the results. My armpit is still tender. The area around armpit feels like sunburn.The last couple of days I have started having tingling/numbness like when the injection at the dentist is wearing off on both sides of face cheeks under eyes, lips, anyone else experienced this.
Many Thanks
Hi Daveday welcome to the forum. It can feel like what you describe in your armpit after surgery and should improve with time. Despite it being uncomfortable keep doing the exercises they gave you as this will ensure that you regain full extension of that arm.. That other sensations you are describing sound similar to when you have an allergy or been bitten. However, to be sure and reassured I would give the Breast Clinic a call and have a chat with them re these new symptons. Xx
Hi Daveday spooky or what with retiring and both having had heart attacks. ️ Im doing grand though and gave up smoking which is great but the weight has piled on which is not so great but hey we are here to tell the tale and life is good. Xxxxx should have said mine was 5 years ago now. Xx
