Hello. Six months ago I had a mastectomy with immediate TUG flap reconstruction. It was my 5th surgery in six months. Overall I have healed well and am doing good, but I am still really sore around where the incision is (same incision spot was used for all surgeries) and under my arm. A lot of tissue was moved from my side under my armpit during my first few surgeries to replace the tissue that had been removed. Is it normal to still be sore six months later? A couple of days ago I did an activity that really worked my pectorals and compressed my reconstructed breast and I am especially sore now. I did a little physical therapy and some massaging of the area, is there something more I should be doing?

Thanks for your advice!
