I am 10days post mx and immediate silicone reconstruction, and SNB.
Healing well, but developed shooting ‘electrical ‘ pain from my armpit down my arm, actually at times makes me shout it comes on that sharply! Painkillers don’t seem to touch it ?Is this normal? Seeing the consultant today so will ask x

I would say that it is all the nerve endings starting to heal but it is always good to get the professionals to confirm this for you for peace of mind. I remember after my wle and snb about the same time afterwards getting stabbing pains and aches but it settled down eventually.

Hope your consultant was able to answer your question Jane. I too had this, I’m 4 weeks post mx now and I don’t get it much anymore so it does ease off. It can really take your breath away!! My surgeon told me it was normal as the nerves started coming back x
