Hi Pinky ~ It has been 4 years since my mastectomy and I STILL have some pain around that area. As with you if I lie a certain way in bed it is more pronounced. My plastic and general surgeon both attribute it to a cut nerve that happened during the mastectomy. Hopefully this is something that will be attributed to muscles and nerves. I also found that certain bra's made it worse.
Take care ~ Ruth
