    I am out 2 years from my initial mastectomy, and the drain scar is still very tender. Has anyone has a similar experience?

    Yes - I have.  Sometimes that is my most strongest pain site I have.  It's on my side where the drain came out. i am over a yr. post MX.

    unfortunately, the bra band hits right there.  drives me nuts.  gets sensitive even without pressure on it too.
