i had a mastectomy and reconstructive surgery about 3 years ago.  Since then I have been suffering with pain in the sides of my ribs and the sides of my back.  is this due to tissue scarring after the surgery and what can I do to ease the paid.  Thanks
during mastectomy your surgery will all remove some of the lymphnodes to save you from disease spreding this causes accumulation of fluid in the space of axilla and you develop stiffness and some times pain and swelling ..the solution for this is you need to start doing lymphatic drainage technique,use stocking on effected hand,exercise your shoulders
