Nerve pain after lumpectomy and breast radiation

I had terrible pain from my partial mastectomy, not down to my fingers, but more where the lymph nodes were done and inside where the mass was taken. My surgeon felt it was due to nerve endings trying to mend themselves. He told me to do ice packs and then wear like a sports bra which keeps what's left of my breast from moving around. Don't know if this helps, but it did help me, I'm 2 1/2 months now and my breast pain is all but gone, but still having discomfort where the lymph nodes were taken.

@lovethedesert
I am having exactly what you described. It was really bad after my sentinel node surgery but then with PT it seemed to get better.
Now that I’ve started radiation, I’m having sharp pains in my breast and it feels like someone is shocking me near my armpit. Is that the type of pain you had?
Thank you!
