I understand your problem all too well.  I am 34 and 3 years ago I had a mastectomy followed by chemotherapy and an aromatase inhibitor.  Shortly after the pain I felt in my chest and arm (due to removal of lymph nodes) began to spread throughout my legs and feet - as well as my hip.  My pain management doctor attributed this pain as chemotherapy nerve pain and prescribed me lyrica.  I've been on lyrica for over a year now and my pain is more manageable.  My arm no longer constantly tingles as it did before, though I still get a weird sensation if you touch the back of my arm.  My chest no longer has the pain it had - I can now even feel certain areas which I was told I would never regain sensation it.  The pain in my legs/feet, etc. is also so much better.  Lyrica is mostly used for Fibromyalgia nerve pain, and nerve pain associated with diabetes - but under the right circumstances it can help with nerve pain from surgery and chemo.  Ask your doctor if it would help your pain....it's worth a try! Take care! Angi
