Thank you for the links to discussions. I usually look through the various topics, but obviously haven’t used the search function! It’s nice to know these topics can more easily be found than just by reading through so many posts!
The pain has subsided. I understand how cut nerve endings can hurt and may heal on varying timelines. But this was different, and it’s pretty much gone now. I will contact the survivorship NP if it comes back. Although I think it falls in the normal range, and recommendations would most likely be “wait and see”. They might write a prescription pain reliever, but I’d only take something like gabapentin if the nerve pain was really bad.
Thanks for responding! It is always nice to see the comments you post!
