Strange symptoms after mastectomy
OK I know this is a real thing because I searched it and found it described in a thread overseas. Ever since my mastectomy, I have had a very strange feeling every time I have a drink. Hot or cold it doesn't matter. Sometimes it's enough to take my breath away. Sometimes mild, sometimes almost painful. Nothing really to complain about but the strangest feeling! It sort of feels like a sudden rushing waterfall of ice water behind my ribs that washes down my chest on the side of the mastectomy. Has anyone else had anything similar?
Query
I had DCIS last September, it was removed, but no lymph glands removed. No radiation treatment was said to be needed as it was caught early. I now have a sore spot on my side sort of under where your bra band goes around your body on the opposite breast. Had an ex-ray last week showed up normal but I am going for a U/S on Monday to make sure there is nothing hiding on my rib wall. Today I have started to get these tingle, tremor feeling in my left breast, they happen every few minutes. I would just like to know if anyone else has had these sensations it's just like an eyelid flicker. Thanks in advance.
