Severe burning from op
I had a partial mastectomy two weeks ago . My breast feels like it is on fire I can't even put a sheet over it. It seems ok in morning but by the end of day it drives me crazy, is this a common thing ...

Hi Breeda I had bilateral mastectomies and sentinel node biopsies in May 2012 and as a result of all of the nerve damage suffered severe burning sensations under both arms and down both sides. I had a fantastic breast care nurse who recommended I mention these symptons to my GP as there was a medication that could be taken. Hence I did and was given Lyrica which is normally used for epilepsy. These tablets eased those symptoms and made my recovery so much more comfortable. Not sure if what you are feeling is the same but maybe mention them to your Breast care nurse or GP and see if you can get some relief too. All the best Lara xx
