Sorry to see you here, @D_Tizzle53 .... but glad you found us. You are in the right spot for support & info .... whack up any questions that you have & we'll do our best to help out.
I hope you have some pain meds to help control the pain ... if it continues, maybe chat with your Breast Care Nurse or your GP - it can take a while for that nerve pain to settle. It can almost be like mini electric shocks. :(
Jump onto this thread to read up a bit on other areas in the forum - we even manage to have a bit of a laugh, too ..... including a link to some 'tick sheets' (down the bottom) to help you formulate questions for your Team Members when you see them .... It's a good idea to have a trusted buddy with you at your appts as a 2nd set of ears and support - and even to record your appts to go over again later if you need to.
