- iserbrownMember@mencha168 Goodness what a weird one to have that sensation 5 years down the track, or is that normal? Who knows! When I had my mastectomy I used to describe it like someone was standing on my chest and pushing. I can only assume for me that it was the nerves settling and two years down the track they are still settling. Like you I don't have lymphedema however I do have a massage by a specialist breast care physio. I'd be asking the GP or someone just to be sure!
Take care - RomlaMemberHi @mencha168 I had LHS lumpectomy March followed by radiotherapy May and hormone therapy August - yes I feel a pressure sensation in the treated breast including today - is better some days and think massaging with sorbolene helps. I have also had sharpish stabbing pain occasionally but think that may be due to nerve regeneration - my medical oncologist said was normal but will discuss with breast surgeon at next appointment.Have not had lymph oedema .
- LMK74MemberHi @mencha168, welcome. It's good your doing well. Hopefully someone can give you some feedback. I just had a mastectomy so can't offer anything useful. Best of luck.
