Has any body had pain in back and arm after breast cancer surgery with reconstruction from back?
My reconstruction was with an implant, but four years on, I still sometimes have pain in my arm, especially if I’m using it a lot. Right after surgery (for a few weeks), there was quite a bit of pain in the arm, but not the rest of the area (lots of nerves are removed, some are severed, so you get pain in some areas, no feeling or numbness in others). Doing the exercises recommended by the occupational therapist helped a lot. I think it’s always a good idea to check with your surgeon if you have any concerns.
