Hi, I had a lumpectomy and slnb on Thursday and came home the same day. Over the weekend the pain was manageable with paracetamol and ibuprofen and I started the exercises as instructed. However, today (day 4) the pain has increased, there is more swelling and bruising and both numbness and pain in my armpit. The nurse is due to visit tomorrow and in the meantime advised taking stronger pain relief. I’m pretty sure I’m getting myself in a state of anxiety over nothing but would be grateful to hear of anyone else’s experience.
