It really hurts around the site of my drain tube scar?
Hi everyone,
I have pain that seems new (? Last fortnight or so) all round the area where my drain tube would have been, internally. If that makes sense. If you visualise the line the tube would have made from the skin entry point up inside the body about 10cm and into the side of my boob - it hurts.
It’s nearly 12 months since surgery. The drain scar tissue is lumpy but looks fine in its own special way. But if I press around the area even gently, I get quite sharp tender pain. The lumpectomy scar doesn’t even hurt this much! My beautiful breast care nurses tell me it’s normal to still have pain this long after surgery and it just takes Time (that most excellent healer).
So does anyone else have this kind of sharp tenderness around their drain site a year later? I know pain is kind of subjective, but yknow! I’m worried there’s something wrong or maybe the pain has ramped up as a side effect of Zoladex. Just seems too weird that it’s so tender still.
