Post mastectomy pain
Has anyone out there experienced chronic post-mastectomy pain? I am not speaking of the normal temporary discomforts of healing, I am talking about the chronic pain that will continue a year or more after the mastectomy. The pain is significant enough where even clothes rubbing the area can be painful. It is not a common occurance.
If anyone has experienced this, I would like to hear from you.
Thanks,
Maryanne
