Mastectomy pain

by Prettyangelface, May 13, 2008 07:37AM

2 weeks ago I had a double mastectomy and when I wake up in the mornings, the pain is so severe. It feels like my chest muscles are tightening up. Now I have a throbbing pain in my right chest that comes and goes. When will this pain ever go away??
