It's been almost 5 years since my surgery and I'm having pretty bad pains in the area of the surgery. I will go to the doctor and have it looked at. I understand the symptoms of the scar tissue, but it's been so long since my surgery that I don't think it's normal to still be hurting quite this bad. Sometimes I grab at my breast when it begins to hurt, it goes numb and swells. My Oncologist told me that I may be having fluid build up, but never explained why that would be.
It's hard right now to get to doctor's office that's located in Georgia, But I am going to try to make it up there next month, in hopes I can make it that long. Or I'll go to the ER if it stays this way.
