Last week I had the all-year to be in remission,  wahoo! 

But, 7 weeks ago I had some lymph nodes removed from my arm pit.

This week the breast on the same side has gone very tender and sore, has anyone else had this? 

  • hi 

    I can only refer to my own experience but I had my lymth nodes removed from my right armpit in Feb this year … my right breast is also tender and sore .. it also seems bigger than the other … Iv been checked out by my GP and nurses and it’s suggested that it may be cause by the lymth fluid and I have now been referred to the Lymphodema  nurse 

    kind regards Sun

  • Thank you for this! I did suggest at the doctors it could be that, but they didn't seem convinced. They said to take ibuprofen. 

    With this in mind I'll give it a couple of weeks and go back.

    Hi Bostinwench,

    I had lymph nodes removed from my armpit too. No lymphoedema but six months on it feels tender and aches by my breast sometimes. I find I can't lift as well using that arm (full kettle). Nothing that causes a big problem though. 

    When I had my check up this week I did find that after the nurse checked that armpit it was sore for a couple of days.
