Hey fiesty76,
I’ve had ongoing post mastectomy pain since my bilateral mastectomy in 2016. I have found that gabapentin is helpful for the nerve pain and I’ve also had massage therapy for the scar tissue problems. Also stretching exercises like free style swimming are helpful. It is better but I still have pain. I think it’s something that some of us have to learn to live with. I’m happy to be living, even with some pain!! Hope you feel better soon!

Thank you for the suggestions Beku! I still can't get over the surgical oncologist not recommending something to try for at least some relief. I'm praying that a visit with my pcp, who still puts the patient first, will provide some options/referrals along with yours.
