Hi,
just interested to learn if anyone has any experience of post mastectomy pain and how you’ve managed it? I don’t mean specifically in the removed breast area I mean on the alternative side where the ‘normal’ breast remains. I’ve read up about mastitis etc but this all seems related to the side operated on just wondered if anyone had experienced anything like this.
thanks

I had a mastectomy 3 weeks ago and for the last few days I have been getting a burning sensation and pain in and around my shoulder blade on the opposite side of my surgery
