Rib pain

Sorry to hear about your pan.  I think there are a lot of "us" out there dealing with daily pain.  I still have pain.  I had a lumpectomy and axillairy clearance back in 2006 followed by radiation and Tamoxifen.  Then in Dec 2010 I had a lumpectomy on the same side but deep up under my arm and around to my back to remove a lymp  node that was full of tumour.  I have then had extensive radiation and chemo.  I have never had any "work done" on the scarring. But now I have started getting deep massage on the scarring whilst I have my lympathic drainage massage.  I have only had one session and boy did it make a difference.  I was to the point of checking out laser therapy on the scarring.  Anyway I will keep giving the deep massage a go - fornightly.  My surgeon said after 2 years "If you still have pain, sorry you will have it for life"  What a cop out!!!  My breast area is so tender I just hate having my regular mamagrams and ultrasounds as it hurts so much.  Mind you the deep massage hurts but is so beneficial.  Good luck.
