  schema:description "Small sensory nerves are cut during breast and armpit surgery, so an area of the upper inner arm, armpit, chest wall or reconstructed breast is often numb, tingly or painful afterwards. Some feeling returns over months; for many people some of it does not, and almost nobody is warned."@en ;
