@lucylocket, 3 weeks post mastectomy is not a long time. Recovery takes time. Another week has passed since you posted. Has the soreness and swelling decreased in the meantime? How are you doing?

Thanks Colleen...... No, the soreness and swelling is still there. Coming up on 5 weeks since surgery. I'm doing therapy at home and I walk every day . It helps some but by about 8 pm every night, it's pretty rough. Tightness in area of scar and still swelling under arm.
I have an indention right above my scar that's about 2 inches in diameter. Anyone else have that happen ? Do you know what causes that. Any answers appreciated. Nurse navigator at surgeon's office advised trying massaging it, but hasn't helped yet.
