Breast pain after surgery is just not addressed. On the home page of this site when you can click on the face of how you are feeling and the symptoms that you can click on appear....guess what is not there as a symptom...breast pain is not a choice.

Thank you for bringing this important gap to attention - breast pain after surgery is indeed a significant concern that deserves proper recognition and support resources. Many patients experience post-surgical breast pain, and having it acknowledged as a trackable symptom would be valuable for the community. A developer will look into this feedback about the symptom tracking feature. Have others in the community found helpful ways to discuss and manage post-surgical breast pain with their healthcare teams?

They should have surgery pain. I had surgery for my port for chemotherapy. Same thing.

Yes. That would be a good option. I was fortunate not to have a port but I have heard they can be painful. It's such a sensitive area and some clothing rubs on that area. Praying for your recovery

Thank you. Not as painful as the breast reconstruction though.
