Hi Donna, I too had pain after surgery. Taking pain relief is a good thing I think, in hindsight. It helps in the healing process. I also had some swelling issues, which could explain some things.

I had scanning laser which I felt helped with softening scar tissue in axilla and chest wall. TIME has helped, gentle stretching also. Tai chi, reflexology on different areas, abdominal breathing, lying down with legs elevated slightly while slow breathing, water therapy, pacing yourself instead of trying to do all in one day. I do take small dose of Zoloft, which can help with perception of pain, I was told. Good luck with your treatments, Kathy.
