4.5 mos since BL, still have pain in left arm. Left breast had multiple delays in healing - went back into surgery 1 mo ago to clean and re-suture. Pain starts above breast, through armpit and into upper arm. Feels like circulation is compromised, fingers tingling. Surgeon says unrelated to surgery. I have read that arm position during surgery could result in nerve swelling that takes months to resolve. GP sending me for X-ray, suggests PT if nothing skeletal. Please help!
