Has anyone else found the node removal wound is more sore than the breast. I took dressing off today and looks very neat but very sore in that area near armpit x
Hi, I’ve been wondering how you were getting on.
Hi Alvilajo
My lymph node scar/wound was much, much more painful and took longer to heal. My armpit is still numb (my surgery was early Feb) and I am still having some pain in my arm. I would suggest doing the physiotherapy regularly as this is the thing that helped me.
I hope your soreness subsides soon.
Take care A
Hi
Yes, i am the same. I had my surgery 2 weeks ago and my dressings off after one week. It made me feel very vunerable for the first few days.
My node incision is definetly more sensitive, and i get occasional sharp pains, but i believe that is to be expected.
Otherwise my wounds are healing well, just keep up with your exercises.
Good luck with the next stage xxxx
