I warmed organic castor oil, soaked a piece of towel and placed that in my bra against the scar. The warmth was comforting and I relaxed, lessening discomfort. A couple of weeks post surgery I developed a routine - after my shower I cut the end of a Vit.E capsule and dabbed it onto the scar, some relief and I felt good about being pro-active with my health care. Did a gentle finger tip massage after a few weeks.
I also have some cording and breast physio 'worked' that for a few sessions - very little discomfort and we had a great 'yarn' each session. It halted the spread of the cording - well worth asking about. I have never experienced pain with my scar tissue - radical auxillary Dec.2011. I would prefer not to take drugs but pain 24/7 will create stress - my preference is Panadol Rapid, the soluble variety. Berylx (also Perth)
