Tenderness

Pain can occur after lumpectomy due to fluid collection, scar tissue as well nerve involvement. The pain does usually resolve over time. Everyone is different and it depends how extensive the surgery was and how long your body takes to reabsorb the fluid and scar tissue. If the pain is caused by nerve involvement this might take longer to recover from. Pain can occur after lumpectomy due to fluid collection, scar tissue as well nerve involvement.
