Pain after lymph node removal

Hi and a very warm welcome to the online community

I'm sorry to hear that you have continuous pain in your left breast after your recent operation to remove the lymph nodes in your left armpit. I had a SLNB in my left armpit but didn't have the pain where you have. I know your question isn't to do with this but have you spoken to your SCNS about the pain?

As for using deodorant, I didn't use deodorant in the armpit where I'd had my SLNB until my wound had fully healed.

Hello crafty t , I had slnb back in January, it was in my groin. All I can say is that any inflammation and pain subsided within a month, I would say mine still sometimes feels painful if I do certain movements but this is rare. I would also say that scar tissue and pain to press hard in the area makes it difficult to spot a problem with lymph nodes so make sure your dermatologist does a good job examining you on follow up appointments. 

Since having slnb I decided to opt for natural crystal deodorant. It takes a while to get used to but has to be better for you, I also use simple facial moisturiser and simple shower gel , I read somewhere that unfragranced is much gentler on your body.

Good luck and I hope everything calms down soon
