I am 10 months post WLE surgery and am wondering if anyone else has experienced nerve type sensations to scar site after this long? I use a small pillow when sleeping on my left side as cannot get completely comfy due to the position of the scar on outer aspect of left breast. I presume the sensations are nerve endings which have been cut during surgery but would like to know what other people have experienced.
Hi garrycoyoteracing,
My operation was different to yours, as I had a mastectomy, immediate reconsruction and SNB at the end of March 2016.
I still do not have proper sensations on the back of my uper arm, some swelling, itching of scar and some pains from time to time. Having done chemo and radiotherapy - this likely had an effect on the healing process. I have had it checked out with my oncologist a coule of weeks ago and he does not seem to be concerned. Also due to see my surgeon for re assessment of the implant, too - just in case.
Have you thought of checking it with your treatment team?
