Hi @colely and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. This must have been shocking. I am so sorry you are going through this. I did find some information that I thought you may find helpful.

Member @rach1009 has also shared about her experience with pain post mastectomy so am hoping the pair of you are able to connect.

How long ago was your mastectomy?

To me it is important to very careful with movements after mastectomy surgery and give the body a chance to
heal. It was hard getting out of bed etc but eventually it does heal and the stitches can be removed.There is also gathering the liquid discharge as the body heals itself.
The Doctor could inspect if there is too much pain.
