They will go away but you can talk to your doctor,,or nurse navigator and see what they suggest for the pain.. Wishing you the very best. Love and hugs!

NaR, One day at a time. Stay hydrated and try to get some movement in as walking helps with circulation. Hugs

Hi NaR , The sharp shooting pains will go away eventually. Mine took about 6 weeks but I also had a reduction with the lumpectomy. I was prescribed a muscle relaxer Robaxim for the spasms/shooting pain. All the best on your recovery.

Everyone's recovery is different. Mine was almost a year, I used ice packs with a pillow, its called a heart pillow.

I’m almost 4 months out and I still get them from time to time but not often. They are more annoying than painful now.
