If you are talking about axillary node dissection for breast cancer where there is lymph node involvement, I am told it is permanent although I would really like to hear otherwise from someone who has undergone this surgery.
I had an axillary node dissection 3.5 weeks ago and my armpit and the back of my upper arm/shoulder is still numb. No one told me about this before the surgery so I was not prepared for this to happen. I would not have had any choice and still would have had to have the surgery but I wish someone would have mentioned this to prepare me. I also have pain in the back of my upper arm, feels like a very bad sunburn, also very bothersome.
I will pray every day for the sensitivity to return, but the surgery was necessary to remove life threatening cancer from my body.
If anyone has had an axillary node dissection and regained the feeling in their armpit, I would love to hear about it, would give me hope.

What can cause numbness and tingling in left thumb?
There are many different possible causes to numbness or tingling. In this day and age the most likely is perhaps the slight pinching of nerves in the arm due to leaning on the edge of a desk. This happens frequently when playing games on the computer, or typing for a long time. Leaning on the left arm of a chair while watching TV can also pinch nerves in the arm or shoulder. Repetitive motion (carpal tunnel syndrome) from typing, thumbing a game controller, or even texting can contribute to tingling and numbness. Diabetes can also cause problems. So seriously consider seeing your doctor and get a blood test.
