But when pain continues for more than a few months post surgery and begins to impact quality of life, this is very likely Post-Mastectomy Pain Syndrome (PMPS).<\/p>\n<p>Studies have shown that between 20 and 30 percent of women who have breast surgery develop PMPS.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #9dbfad;\">What is Post-Mastectomy Pain Syndrome?<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<blockquote><p>Post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS) is chronic nerve (neuropathic) pain after lumpectomy or mastectomy\u2026The classic signs of PMPS are chest wall pain and tingling down the arm. Pain can also be felt in the shoulder, scar, arm, or armpit. Other common complaints include numbness, shooting or pricking pain, or unbearable itching<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The exact cause of PMPS is unknown.\u00a0 A strong theory however is that during surgery damage is caused to the intercostobrachial nerve.\u00a0 This nerve extends from the outer edge of the breast and runs along the underside of the arm.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #9dbfad;\">Treatments for Post-Mastectomy Pain Syndrome<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.cathybiase.com\/?attachment_id=4375\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-4375\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-4375 alignleft\" src=\"http:\/\/cathybiase.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/painkillers-2525089_640.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"221\" height=\"147\" \/><\/a>There are treatments to help relieve PMPS.\u00a0 This often starts with the use of ibupofen and\/or other nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs.<\/p>\n<p>The application of topical anesthetics can be effective for treatment in many cases.<\/p>\n<p>Steroid injections or local anesthetic can be helpful for those who suffer from pain around the scar area.<\/p>\n<p>As well as medical interventions, Integrative therapies can also be of help for those suffering with PMPS.\u00a0 These include massage therapy, reflexology and acupuncture.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #9dbfad;\">Why Seek Help?<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>In light of the toll that cancer therapies can have on the body, it may seem somewhat trivial to question your doctor about aches and pains. But it is not.<\/p>\n<p>Pain not only has a physical impact, it can also have a mental one.<\/p>\n<p>Research has demonstrated that the pain women experience suffering from PMPS has been linked to fear of recurrence.\u00a0 This can be a paralyzing feeling.<\/p>\n<p>Depression, as well, is strongly associated with pain.<\/p>\n<h4><strong><span style=\"color: #9dbfad;\">Conclusion<\/span><\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>Post-Mastectomy Pain Syndrome is real.<\/p>\n<p>Do not dismiss symptoms or concerns that you are experiencing.\u00a0 Consult your doctor and get relief.<\/p>\n<p>We must be advocates of our own health.<\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h4><span style=\"text-decoration: underline; color: #386c9a;\">References<\/span><\/h4>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.org\/treatment\/treatments-and-side-effects\/physical-side-effects\/pain\/post-mastectomy-pain-syndrome.html\">https:\/\/www.cancer.org\/treatment\/treatments-and-side-effects\/physical-side-effects\/pain\/post-mastectomy-pain-syndrome.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.cancer.org\/treatment\/treatments-and-side-effects\/physical-side-effects\/pain\/post-mastectomy-pain-syndrome.html\">https:\/\/www.cancer.org\/treatment\/treatments-and-side-effects\/physical-side-effects\/pain\/post-mastectomy-pain-syndrome.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/well.blogs.nytimes.com\/2015\/06\/08\/pain-after-breast-cancer-surgery-pmps\/\">https:\/\/well.blogs.nytimes.com\/2015\/06\/08\/pain-after-breast-cancer-surgery-pmps\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.painresource.com\/cancer\/post-mastectomy-pain-syndrome-pmps\/\">https:\/\/www.painresource.com\/cancer\/post-mastectomy-pain-syndrome-pmps\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4031190\/\">https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC4031190\/<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It is certainly well within the level of expectation to have some pain and\/or discomfort after a mastectomy or lumpectomy.
