Hypersensitive skin/nerves after mastectomy

Hi, I had BMX May 2021 and I swear my chest and arm felt tight for at least 2.5 months if not more. to the point where I couldn't or didn't want to stand up straight. difficult to raise arm to shave. funny this stuff the Drs never mentioned. around Oct-ish 2021 I started experiencing frozen shoulder on my right side which is the problematic side of BC. I had 3 surgeries total: lumpectomy, lymph node, then BMX. no other treatments, drugs etc. I am under PT who specializes in breast area but she mostly works on my scar tissue. Lets see how long frozen shoulder will stick around. very unpleasant. good luck to anyone who's dealing with pain after surgery. Keep the faith.

Choco1818 keep at it with the PT work. They should also work on your shoulder along with any lymphatic massage or deep scar tissue relief you need. Sometimes I think if you experience the hypersensitivity you are at higher risk to have these other issues. I know my shoulder improved a lot once I had revision surgery to remove all the scar tissue. I struggled for about 2 years then had to just trust my PS that she could make this better and boy was she ever right. Shoulder still somewhat of an issue (my LPT believes in part because we bow inward protecting ourselves unconsciously) so have been working on releasing the shoulder with massage and acupuncture. It has helped tremendously. My best to you hope it begins to improve
