Hi all I am new here. I had a mastectomy last year and I am struggling to explain the feelings in that area, my scar has healed well it when I move it feels tight, burning. In general it feel like a solid plate under m skin. Does this sound normal?
Hi Moostar welcome to the forum. I am sorry to hear about the issue that you are experiencing. It sounds like this could be scar tissue that has healed and left behind a hard area which is possibly what you are feeling but I'm not sure.
It may be the best thing to do to see the GP and see if they can examine this area for you and check it out to offer you some degree of re-ssurance.
Thank you Granny59 that’s a good suggestion x
