Had lobectomy in 2020 still having radiating severe nerve pain.

Hi Pam, I’ve seen my GP & she sent me for normal mammo & ultrsound & the she Sen to to a breast surgeon. We’re doing a dye screening mammo next week just to be sure it’s not the breast causing the pain. I had radiation just below the right collar bone & the radiologist didn’t think that would cause nerve pain. Thanks for the advice. I see my regular oncologist on 5th December. My tween granddaughter says she’s not going to go anywhere with me if I don’t stop holding my breast☺️

Ah. Well you have reason to think it could be a bit different than garden variety nerve pain from lobectomy. That variety is simply nerve endings that were cut in surgery reconnecting. It’s like when a light bulb flickers when it doesn’t have a solid connection. Eventually they knit solidly and the electric jolts and toothachy pains resolve.

But… Any nerve pain is essentially like that. Can be like a stabbing, or heat, or quick cramp, or anything that comes and goes.
