Hi @Keba, I'm coming up to 11months post mastectomy and am still evolving. The pain that I experienced has gone through various phases as healing has taken place. I too like (Primek) experienced cording although mine was very fine and I found if I didn't massage it would start to thicken. I also found that weather has played a large part in my pain levels and I find if I get cold the whole left area where the mastectomy took place and my back both ache at a deep core level until I warm up. I still think of myself as a work in progress and find I am aware of feeling stronger and fitter as time goes on. Big hugs to you and know it does improve. Xx Cath
