Back of the shoulder numbness - lymph node removal

Karmic108 · March 2019

How long it took you not to feel the numbness anymore on the back of your arm after the lymph node removal.

The sensory nerve would have been cut or irritated.

I do have that numbness

I am still mainly numb after 4 years. But definitely improving albeit extremely slowly.

Kind of happy to be numb in my armpit, since it is now a lurid red from Rads! At least it's not hurting!

The back of my shoulder and underneath my arm is still numb 3 years after my mastectomy. But seems less and less.

I am still numb in the armpit from my surgery. It did improve slowly over time, but it's still numb on the surface. I don't shave the armpit because I'm not putting a blade anywhere I can't feel it. I did have some numbness on the upper part of my arm, that went away over time. I don't remember how long that took though.

Re: Armpit numbness-I too am avoiding shaving armpits in case I cut myself since I can't feel anything. Eventually are some of you just doing this carefully or turning to waxing/sugaring?

Yes I do shave, carefully! No problems, so far!
