Now I have a frozen shoulder!!
Now I have a frozen shoulder!! Joy of joys!! My arm (the one that had the nodes removed) has been getting stiffer and more painful by the day and so tonight I went to see my GP.
She felt under my arm etc and said “Not to worry it’s “just” a frozen shoulder you need physio”!!
More cr*p !! She said it can be cause by invasive surgery to your arm. Has anyone else had this or ongoing pain/stiffness in the affected arm? I did not have a mastectomy I had a lumpectomy.
Love to all

One Year Today I had a lumpectomy & removal of 10 lymph nodes one year ago today. The numbness in my shoulder and back is very slowly going away, but I still have some.
The bright side as I see it is that the bit that is still numb at least does not hurt.
It is still very invasive surgery and you may have suffered nerve damage. Go for the physio, it may help.
Best of luck & lots of love
