Hi everyone, it's been 17 days today since I had the Lympectomy and the Sentinel Biopsy and I am still very tender under the armpit, but what is upsetting me more is the burning and tingling sensatio...

Hi Purplegirl, we must have had our Lumpectomy's about the same time. The pain is worse now for me nearly 3 weeks later than the week I had the Lumpectomy, and the Sentinal Biopsy, and like you, I also have been having back and shoulder blade pain too. Not sure what is causing this but I have spoken to my breast care nurses already on 2 occasions and each time they say no infection. Hope the antibiotics are helping with your infection? I am seeing my specialists on Tuesday for treatment plans and I will insist they look into it because the pain is at times so awful that I just sit down and try to relax.. Hope you feel better very soon especially now that you are on antibiotics and all the very best with your treatment. Hopefully I will get some medication too because I am convinced I have an infection of some sort. It can be so fraustrating because I don't want to delay any treatment plan but if I have an infection then I woul prefer not to start anything until it clears up.
Take care
