Yes, normal. You just had surgery and it will affect the nerves in your chest, shoulder, arm. As the nerves start waking up after about 3 to 4 most you will have more. Surgery takes about 6 Mos. To recover from.

Experiencing pain, tingling, and numbness after a lumpectomy and lymph node biopsy can be normal. Here are some points to consider:

- Pain: It's common to have lingering pain after breast-conserving surgery. This can be due to the surgical process, especially if the tumor was close to the pectoral muscle.
- Nerve Pain: Numbness, tingling, or shooting pain can be signs of nerve damage, which often begins shortly after surgery and may last for several weeks or months.
- Numbness: Numbness in the breast or upper arm area is also a common post-surgical symptom.

If the pain or numbness persists or worsens, it's important to consult your doctor for further evaluation and management.
