The nerve pain is in my breast and runs under my arm pit . It is not on my incision. I will be seeing surgeon next week. I have been using lidocaine patches which help but are hard on my old skin so have taken a few days off. Thanks for reply.

MamaLinda my worst pain is is my Right breast. I had Right upper lobectomy via thoracotomy. I def think its nerve pain. I got garbage about 12 days after surgery which helped some. I also got something called Theraworx for nerve pain. Its an OTC foam..I think it helped. I'm 3 weeks post op and slowly the pain is subsiding

I had similar pain after LR lobe was removed especially under the right breast. I was prescribed Gabapentin, Tramadol if needed Ibuprofen/Tylenol and Lidocaine patches. Gabapentin worked well for me, but I hear Lyrica is faster acting. Later on when pain persisted under right breast I was referred to a pain clinic and given corticosteroid injections. It took quite a few months for pain to go away completely, but I am cancer free, so don’t want to complain. I hope your pain gets better. Hang in there.
