lauriecub...I had my bilateral mastectomy on May 12th. Almost 2 months now.
Ironically my chest scars are hurting me more than in the early weeks of post recovery.
Yes, I have had all kinds of pains in my chest - burning, stabbing, a heaviness, sensitivity to any type of bra or clothing rubbing on my scars...and to me, the scars look more swollen!
It doesn't seem to be decreasing and I am 2 months out.
I will ask the same question you did - anyone experience my situation? Plus...
When will the swelling decrease? When does the pain/discomfort stop?
When can I wear a prosthetic?

Briar rose, the nerve pain is finally subsiding, either through time or twice/daily applications of Voltaran. I still have center of chest deep pain, but not debilitating.
