I was starting to feel like I needed a nick name...something along the lines of "Louis Leftfinger"...except my problem has been on my right hand - my right index finger to be precise.
It's finally stopped, but it's been twitching for two weeks solid! (It's a funky sensation to have your appendage take on a life and movement all its own.) My brain is sending one message and my finger is doing something else entirely. It began periodically and then seemed to build into what seemed like one frantic twitch-fest. I assumed this had to do with the mastectomy. After all, they did have to sever nerves to get the job done.
Along with the twitching, I noticed a "numb" spot in my upper arm and again assumed that the two, the twitching and the numb spot, were related...and that all of this, of course, was related to the mastectomy.
The ta-ta related twitching was one thing I didn't know to expect from the surgery...and it certainly isn't something I'd consider major. After all, it's not capsular contracture or anything along those lines, just something I noticed.
