I had a radical mastectomy in January , followed by two WLE for recurrence since then … and am getting short ,sharp stabbing pains almost like electric shocks that actually make me jump !!! Does anyone else experience pains like these ? I have read that it is nerve damage , but still worry …
Hugs,

Hi Jill I had the same after my WLE, i was told it is the nerves and can take months to settle down and I still get an odd twinge now 3 months later, I try not to over worry but it is hard not to xx Jo
Hi I had 2 WLE and had exactly that for nearly a year, I felt like I was being tasered every 30 minutes for the first 3 months. It will stop I promise.
Yes! I had a mastectomy in March and experienced the stabbing pains you describe. I am sure it is to do with nerve damage. It is ok now but I guess the more surgery you have the. More nerve damage there will be. Try not to worry! Lindylou3 xx
