BTW I used to have pain and I could feel the scar tissue where the lymph nodes were removed. After the lat flap surgery I hardly feel it and rarely have pain. Massaging helpa soften the scar tissue and lessen the pain. I don't know if that helps with the numbness. My back is pretty numb and I get massages quite often and that seems to help.

Yes I have some- it's been very slow- i'm now 4 1/2 yrs post surgery but i 'd say probably 30% feeling has returned

I have stinging after a year. The NP said that is the nerve ending reconnecting. I rub it often!

I had my surgery 3 1/2 years ago and think I had a lot of feeling come back. Then 8 months ago I had a latissimus Dorsi flap surgery and I'm numb again. Now that you mentioned it, I have feeling back in my arm. But under my arm is still prety numb. I had my last c section 30 years ago and it took a long time for the numbness to go away.
