Please HELP with STINGING pain side effect from excisional biopsy?

[lucky369]

Can anyone identify with or share some light on a "stinging" pain on my incision site when I touch the area after an excisional breast biopsy 7 weeks ago?  I still have a walnut size lump of fluid or blood and have seen the surgeon about it.. He said that it looked ok and should go away with more time.  Before now, I have not had any pain... But today, I woke up with this terrible stinging pain on the incision spot.  It only hurts when I touch the spot.  Could this be nerve problem?  Does anyone have a possible remedy?  Should I wait a few days or should I go back to the dr. ASAP?

Well, after analyzing it more... I think I may know what happened.. I'm in the process of moving and packing lots of boxes.  I think I may have torn the scar a little when lifting stuff.  Some other people that I spoke with said that you get that stinging feeling when that happens to a scar.  Ice seems to work best to ease the pain.  It seems to be getting a little better today.  I need to go slower and be patient with this healing process.  Thanks for your input!  Have a great day!!

I could be nerve related but it's a rather long time post-op for that to be occuring. If it were I don't think it would hurt only when touched but anything is possible. Could be some scar tissue that is contracting and pulling or pressing on a nerve. I would at least call the Surgeon's office and get their opinion since it's something new. Did they advise anything for the lump which I suppose may be a hematoma ?? Either blood or fluid it will take some time to absorb .. like months.
