My double mastectomy took place in July 06. My expander exchange in March 07. I have had pain under my arms at the location of all 4 drains since the mastectomy. I don't have much pain other than some nerve pain in my arms that I did not have pre-mast.
I must add that 2 of my drains were in for 3 weeks after the mast. I don't know if that has anything to do with the ongoing pain. The drains were the worst thing about both operations for me. In fact, I am not overwhelmed about the results of my implants and after my husband reminded me that I would need drains if I replaced them, I had a change of heart!
