You'll keep seeing the surgeon as he/she checks your recovery and to co-ordinate treatment. The sentinel node removal can cause a lot of residual pain for awhile - I was convinced that the area was rubbed raw when it looked fine. That will settle down although you may not get full feeling back. The other spot that doesn't seem to recover for me is where one of the drains sat along a rib bone - it's still tender 16 months later. Try not to overthink things although I know it can be hard. Your body has gone through some trauma and it's going to take some time to recover.
