At 7 weeks out my burning pain has mostly resolved, a little funny stuff still going on under the arm.
still- I think it depends a lot on how fired up your nervous system is.

Inflammation can really aggravate the arm symptoms, burning, and all other discomfort.

the worst of the burning pain stopped about 8 weeks out for me, but it was still way sensitive for about 6 months (rt) and 4 months (left). Rt gave me more problems post-op.

you are making good progress bev, hang in there and stay on the pain meds. I know it gets old by now, but you will suffer less and be off them soon enough. Use ice/heat as it feels good to you.

Glad you posted! you know not to over-do!

Hi there i am still waiting so if you could tell me some more about what happens after i would be for ever in your debt like how long are you in bed and how long until you can move your arm. Do you have your arm in a sling? I see the pain is bad and where is the burning. Oh ya when do you go to physo or do you have to. I have lots of questions befor i go in i hope you are feeling better and if any of you's can tell me more about what happens after surery that would be great. thank you
