Is Ongoing Pain Normal Two Weeks After Lumpectomy?

Can't speak for lumpectomy. Mine is pending. In have had biopsies and I have had bruising and minor pain for 2 weeks

I had this 2 yrs ago and I just graduated from a cami to a sport bra bc the reg ones hit my scars. Still can’t do exercises with laying directly on my chest so now who’s the baby???🤣

Nope, my pain and discomfort lasted a good month. We need to remeber to be kind to ourselves. Everyone is different. 🙏 for clear margins and negative nodes.

Yes I had my surgery on breast and lymph node removal 3/12 and still have pain especially reaching or stretching

6 years past mastectomy and lymph node removal ( 12) and Three years after reconstruction and still experiencing discomfort . Regular bras give me too much pressure under my armpit and sports bra not enough support for the whole day , so my one breast , attached to the muscle , hurts me. However, I am very Grateful to my doctors for the fact that I am alive ( stage 3) and fully functioning , even with aches and pains from hormonal blockers.

Alexandra P, try Shapermint Bras.

Every reason to feel like a baby; unfortunately I am a year out of and still have pain! 🤷‍♀️🥹

I did. It’s not being a baby you’re in pain. I’m in chemotherapy now. I lost all my energy and I am so tired and depressed. I feel so depressed. Every one says you’ll be ok. But inside I feel so bad. We all go through this I guess. We have to stay strong. Some days worse than others.

Not only pain but bad radiation burns under my breast !!

So sorry.

I’m sorry. You will for awhile. If you’re normaly active you’re probably going to get impatient. I still 4 weeks post op after second surgery get tired so easy. I feel like such a wuss.

OMGosh YES!!

OMGosh Donna E that is my biggest fear. I want to start Pilates so bad, but!

Cathie D. Bought one and likes it, so bought another with a different shape and I am going to send it back 🤷‍♀️

Mary F. I start radiation, but we are using Mepitel Film that helps elevate the burns or blisters. Crossing my fingers 👍

Melody W: being tired and feeling depressed I think is pretty normal. I just want to cry sometimes and we should. This sucks!! But hang on to everyone ♥️

My pain started week 3- which when I developed radiation burn… when I called surgeon for burn care - then she told me it’s common to develop problems starting week 3…. They could have said that. But now 4/5 weeks after- I still experience shooting pain to nipple- NOT FUN

Yes, I'm not sure why information like they is not given. I have pain and soreness (albeit very minimal) but it weeks have been nice to have been told that soreness will happen "x" amount of time.. . Mine is post 4 months and I have minor soreness when I stretch. Instead of having to worry to whole time until the next appointment went doing doctor just tell you this can happen?

Melani, Agree. I have pain and soreness as well. It's only been 2.5 weeks. I guess I'm a big baby.......

13 months post mastectomy. Still feel pain.

Melody W.... please don't be depressed. We are ALL so strong. Be sure to HUG yourself every day. 💖

Breast treatment is barbaric. I can’t believe they can’t figure out a better way to detect and treat this . It’s torturous.

2weeks is a drop in the bucket. Firstly, be patient & gracious to your self. Do you have a lymphademiology PT person? If not, get one. I was having pain 3 months post mastectomy, where they removed nodes. 2 things to watch for with node removal: lymphedema (low chance) and cording. My pain turned out to be the beginnings of minor cording deep in my pit. 2 months may be too early to begin massage stretching of the area. Action plan, talk to your surgeon about when you can start pt. Get a specific lymph specialist PT. If you are allowed, try some topical arnica product, may just be internal bruising. I use “active: cbd w/arnica & rosemary” no thc so you should be able to get it in most states. I found it reduced bruising and pain quickly. # on the jar 1888 875 hemp It just takes time ❤️‍🩹

I developed a seroma about 11 days after lumpectomy. Which was April 24....Apparently it's pretty common ......So uncomfortable and painful, but after about 5 days it's improving. I am using a heating pad.

Just had mine yesterday. I was told what you're feeling is pretty common. Everyone heals differently. Listen to what your body is telling you.
