Hi Helen
Welcome to BCNA. You have come to the right place where you will be supported and you can ask as many questions as you need to.
Having pain around your scar following mastectomy is very normal. Your surgeon would have prescribed pain relief for you which you need to take as directed so that the pain doesn't get out of control. If what they have prescribed isn't helping I would let them know asap so that they can advise what else you can take.
I took pain relieve for about 8 weeks following surgery. It is very early days for you and is to be expected.
All the best in your recovery and following treatments. Please come back with questions we are all here for you.
Best wishes
