Hello @jerri0, I've seen many members report discomfort in the bra area post-surgery, but as I understand it that's more commonly nerve pain or numbness. Have you found this discussion: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/sudden-numbness-2-months-post-vats/
Does the area appear swollen? Has your doctor had any suggestions or hope?

I’m 10 weeks since an upper right lobectomy and have no pain and have been pretty active. However my voice hasn’t come back completely….i can talk normally for a few minutes then I have to whisper and ultimately my chest seems so tighten and I have a cough attack….Ive been told my voice will take a few more months to come back which is distressing….Im told it was the surgical breathing tube causing minor damage to my vocal cords….Has anyone else experienced this ??
