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!

Yes and after 3 years I still have pain. Not as bad but still exists. I did not do any therapies. Just a week ago I had another breast surgery on the other breast. I discovered the node surgeon got the
Margins. I'm convinced the grief over the death of my 18 yr old dog brought on this cancer. My surgeon wanted to do the nodes in my left arm but insurance and me discouraged it. Too many ramifications and more long term pain
