Hi --

My surgery wasn't as long ago--I only had a lumpectomy with sentinel

node biopsy done mid-January this year--and I have the same weird

numbness in the underarm area.

Gosh, I was really hoping it wasn't going to be oddly numb forever...

Best,

Belinda

,

I have some numb spots on ther back of my arm and back. I get that itching

sensation in those areas on occasion. I think it has something to do with the

nerves.

hi,

i had a mastectomy in June - left side. i also had a sentinel node biopsy

done at the same time. at the time of my surgery, i had a tissue expander put

in for future reconstruction. 3 weeks ago, i underwent the exchange surgery

to have the filled tissue expander replaced with a silicone implant. all

has gone well with that. just within the last week or so, i've experienced a

itch under my arm. i go to scratch it and it is numb but i do feel an itch

there. scratching it does no good because i have no feeling in that spot under

my arm. it's a very strange sensation. does anyone else have this type of

thing going on? just trying to find out. thanks.

This is a form of phantom pain...it's often experienced by people who

have had amputations. This website has a pretty good basic explanation

http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/phantom-pain/DS00444/DSECTION=1

My granddad had his leg amputated after a steam shovel fell on him, and

often spoke of it feeling like he had something stuck between his

toes. Interesting, since he didn't have them anymore! (BTW, I never

liked that book, " Mike Mulligan and His Steam Shovel " ...scared the heck

out of me!)
