Lymph node removal site tender
Hi ladies, Just wondering if the tenderness I am having at the site of my lymph node removal is normal. I had a lumpectomy and sentinel node removal done on 24/2/20 and until the weekend just gone...
The issue seems to be about the anaesthetic and/or long term numbness. I had 17 nodes removed and no pain at all but it’s likely that was because the armpit area was completely numb at first (no sense of of being part of my body at all). It has gradually improved over seven years, although the capacity to register hot and cold is still impaired and probably always will be. The positive side is still no pain!
