I think it is an up and down time. I didn't start to feel anything like vaguely ok for two weeks after surgery. Then I had another period about a week later where I definitely felt like I went down again - my arm really started to hurt and I struggled. Then about 10 days after that I bashed my arm on a door (no I wasn't even drinking - no excuse other than clumsy!) and that set my mobility back again. So I suppose I am saying - one, be kind to yourself and two - there might be some down days, but then there will be better days.
I'm not alone 😊 Had a teary night last night. I've taken pain killers today so hope it eases as feels like 1st day after op, maybe I've done too much xxxx
I’m having the same soreness under the arm . Breast incision seems fine but the steri strips under arm are now startinh to break and seems deeper wound, I have placed a sterile dressing over this area tonight . Not to bad but a little sore 7 days in fingers crossed xx
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.
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
