				A question about my incision under my arm
			 
			 
			
		
		
		
		I am just wondering if anyone else besides me has this problem. Where my insision under my arm is when gently touching it. It feels bruised and every once in awhile I have a quick, jab pain in that area.  
  
I have not had my reconstruction surgery yet and that won't be until September because of radiation.  I wonder how that will feel then???
