Hi all!

I had a lumpectomy a couple weeks ago for a suspected Phyllodes tumor that thankfully ended up being just a fast growing firboadenoma.
Because it was suspected to be a phyllodes tumor and was already decent sized, she took wide margins. I have a large incision that is under my breast from one end to the other, but I had barely any discomfort the first week.
Since then though, I have had SO much nerve pain. The majority of my breast is still completely and totally numb, but I am hurting. It’s not improving, I honestly think it might be getting worse. Pretty much any move I make adds to it.

It’s only been a couple weeks, so hopefully this will get better, but I was wondering if anyone else had experienced this?
