I had a mastectomy 5 weeks ago and my scar has healed well, but have had problems with a seroma which I have had drained 4 times, but I think it is starting to settle. My main problem at the moment is a weird sensation just below my armpit and sidde of my chest wall under my arm. It feels like a pressure, prickly at times and if I use my arm alot it burns. I find it difficult to hold my arm up at chest height for long even if it is resting on something. There is abit of fluid along the scar line in my armpit. It doesn’t hurt to touch it, the pain is deep inside. i am taking regular pain killers and doing my stretches and arm exercises, but am worried this is making it worse. Anyone else got a similar problem and have suggestion how to make it better. it is driving me crazy. yours hopefully,
