Hi Lucy thanks again for your response. I am the same I can feel it all the time and it really doesn’t help my state of mind. I try and put it behind me but it always there.

Hi Lucy Thank you for your reply. At last I feel I’m not imagining things. I have had the same response from my b/c nurses but like you nothing has helped. The last response was to rub ibuprofen gel into the tight area but doesn’t really help and was also told my anxiety isn’t helping me. They keep telling me it’s my scar but the tightness isn’t any where near my scar I get so frustrated with it all.

Hi i had a mastectomy in November 2019 all very straightforward and no Chemo or radiotherapy . I did my exercises regularly everyday and done the massaging. Right from the start I got a lot of tightness in my chest and thought it would go but it never has. Spoke to breast care nurses and they have told me to do more massaging and exercises. I have also been extremely stressed over the year. I was just wondering if anyone else out there is experiencing this extreme tightness in their chest many months after. I look forward to any responses
