Last month, I was diagnosed with high graded DCIS. 10 days ago I had a lumpectomy and Sentinel Lymph node biopsy. Both wounds appear to be healing ok and the pain is manageable. However, what I am struggling with the most is the sensitivity and pain at the back of my arm and under my armpit (not even near the biopsy wound) which has increasingly got worse over the last few days. My wounds were checked yesterday and when I told the nurse of the pain and discomfort I was experiencing, she told me it was likely to be nerve damage which is common from this type of surgery. Unfortunately no over the counter meds appear to be helping with this pain and I am unable to sleep very well. Has anyone else experienced this type of nerve pain and if so, what helped and how long did it last? Thank you x
