I had a 6 inch fibroadenoma removed 18 months ago when I was 22 and still don't have full feeling around the scar. I was told it'd return within a year.
I've been super vigilent with breast checks since then, but inside the scar tissue is still pretty hard and tender so I haven't been able to feel properly. I think there might be another lump there.
I was wondering if any of you have experience with this, if you've had a recurring case, and if it's common for the same thing to come back?
By the way, I have an appointment with my doctor later on today who'll do a full check. I would like to be prepared when I go in there though.
Thanks!

I am not a woman but I have had surgery before several times. It is normal for there to be numbness at the scar site and sometimes in other places too. When they cut, it severs nerves. They do not regrow. I have had scars for 10 years that are still numb, the feeling increased some over time, but never will it fully return.
Weird thing was that I had knee surgery, not only was there numbness at the scars, but I developed a totally numb area on the back of my calf. I feel pressure, but not the touch sensation. The doctor said the nerves that connected to that area must have been severed. The feelings have never come back, but over time I don't really notice it anymore.
