New Pain at Node Biopsy site

Ardychan

Hello,

For the past three days, I have had lots of pain under my right arm, where the Auxiliary Node biopsy was done.  I had previously had pain at that site since the surgery, but I was taking Gabapentin for it.  I have been at a tiny dosage (1/2 of a 600 mg pill twice a day), for about 8 months.  Sometimes, I even forgot to take it, but it hadn't hurt until now. The past three days, I have started to take two full pills a day because it hurts so much.  This is really frustrating, as I don't like the side effects (hands and feet swell up).  It's been over two years since my surgery!  Why does it still hurt?  Could it be another cancer?  I feel like the girl who cried wolf when I call my doctor, but this is so painful, I can't lift my arm!  It hasn't hurt this much in a very long time.
