Has anybody ever had this.  Under my left arm (where the cancer was found and the lymph nodes removed) I am having a burning pain like sensation.  Deep in my arm pit.  It is not the nerves healing pain or soreness. And it is not all the time.  I was trying to figure out if it could be like scar tissue or perhaps something simple.  My arm is not swollen at all and there is no rhyme or reason to it.

Hi, Annette! I had a similar experience, but not in the arm pit. Through the chest area, where my breast should have been, but have no feeling in the reconstruction, so... turned out to be a pinched nerve that was the culprit. Where the pain is depends on which nerve is pinched, so I'm sure you could have pain in the arm pit as well.

Hope that is all it is. (I hate hoping for things like that! Like that wouldn't be bad enough! But at least it's not "the cancer.")

BTW...my arm pit itched FURIOUSLY for a few months before I was diagnosed. Haven't had itchy pits since. Anybody else?

And another BTW...miss you! Do you have my cell #? Since we moved, we gave up the landline. Would love to hear from you!

Love and hugs...

Thanks for the input. I am seeing my regular doctor tomorrow.  I feel like I need a full bone scan again (been a couple years) to make sure there are no hot spots anywhere. 

I don't think I have your cell number but mine has not changed so give me a call or email me and I will give it to you.

Annette, I would not call the sensation I have "burning" but rather a stiff soreness or tugging sensation from time to time where the node incision was made in the arm pit. I have intermitent cramping in the chest under the breast that I have been told is radiation damage to the muscles. Always a reminder. Hope this helps. Hugs, Lauri

Annette, have you been to the dr yet? I haven't had a distinct pain sensation in the armpit but I certainly have it in other places. I also suffer from itching, it sucks. We certainly need to revamp the brochure.

Love, Jo-Ann

Yes I have.  I have to get a full set of x-rays to see what is happening there.  He put me on some pills but they make me loopy during the day and that is not good for tax returns.  Or maybe it is. 

Thanks for asking.

When? Joyce will need to fuel up the PCE.

Love You, Jo-Ann

We are fueled and ready all you have to do is let me know if you need us. Pink feathers are fresh and fluffed. Hugs, Joyce

Annette, I hope your wait is a short one and I'm praying for a pork chop bone. I'll be hanging out waiting for your update.

Love You, Jo-Ann

I am getting so old.....

I have major arthritic damage in my shoulder.  I never even knew I had arthritis in my shoulder. .

My knees yes, my hip yes, and my ankles yes.... but not my shoulder.  I will talk to the doctor next week to figure out what I can do about this. 

But all in all good news.
