Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 I had a lumpectomy and lymphnode dissection in Dec. I didn't have any pain from the lumpectomy but the lymphnode incision under my arm was pretty painful for about 3 weeks. I also had a "pins and needles" sensation under that arm and along the back of the shoulder for the same time period. It has subsided not for the most part. It's a good thing to ask your surgeon. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 This is the first time I have a posted anything here, I have been reading the posts for a long time. I had a lumpectomy with the removal of two lymph nodes a week ago today. I am still so sore, and I don't really know if that is normal or not. I have had a lot of surgeries in the past, but none of them having to do with bc. I am going to see the surgeon today to have sutures removed, so of course, I will make a point of asking him, but I just wanted to know if anyone could assist me this morning. I have seen from the posts, that everyone is extremely caring and nurturing, and I am glad to have the honor to be a part of that. You all have a wonderful day!

Guest guest Posted February 12, 2004 Report Share Posted February 12, 2004 Hi! Welcome to the group. I had a mastectomy and 23 lymph nodes removed and didn't have any pain with the surgery at all. But everyone is different and they are two totally different procedures. I am sure someone that has has a lumpectomy will reply. I will keep you in my prayers.
