Arm pain

Hi I’m new to this I was diagnosed with bc in may this year I had calcifications I had a mastectomy and reconstruction , I have been in quite a lot of pain in my arm I take pain killers which don’t help much I just wondered if anyone else experienced this also I thought I’d be back in work and have been feeling guilty about not being which has made me a bit depressed I don’t like letting people down, has anyone else felt like this x

Dear Laurinda

Welcome to the forum.  I’m sure other members will soon be along to offer you some support.  If you also posted in the “Living with and beyond breast cancer” section more people might see it.

You might find it helpful to talk things over with someone on our Helpline.  They can offer practical information and emotional support.  The opening times are 9-5 on weekdays and 10-2 on Saturdays.  The number is 0808 800 6000
