A member asked:
Why does my left arm hurt so much after a lumpectomy a year ago, chemo and radiation? what can cause this?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Surgery under arm?: Did you have any surgery under the arm (lymph node biopsy or axillary dissection)? Did you get radiation to the underarm/axilla? These can contribute to the discomfort. You may want to contact your surgeon and get evaluated at a lymphedema clinic.
