Nerve pain under arm 2 years after mastectomy

Hi there;

Just wondering if anyone who has had a mastectomy has had nerve pain show up 2.5 years after their surgery? I had it in November last year - had an ultrasound under arm all ok - and it disappeared and now it’s back. Its like a toothache/nerve pain under my arm that last for seconds but can happen 14-15 times a day and takes my breath away - it comes and goes which I know is a good sign and the fact the nodes were fine on ultrasound in November is good too. (I had 5 nodes removed all clear at time of mastectomy was supposed to be 3 nodes but 2 were attached to the breast tissue that was removed). I did a workout on Wednesday and it started Friday and normal pain relief doesn’t touch it so again it’s leading me to nerve pain. just wondering if there is any wonderful magic potion anyone used to get rid of it if they had it! lots of love x

Hiya I had a double mastectomy dec 2025 so not long ago and I use amytriptalene (not sure of spelling) for the nerve pain and it works very well xx
