Post-mastectomy nerve pain and itching can be challenging symptoms that sometimes develop years after surgery due to scar tissue or nerve changes. This sounds really uncomfortable and disruptive to your daily life, so it's definitely worth discussing with your healthcare team who can properly evaluate what might be causing this and suggest appropriate treatment options. Many people in this community have experienced similar post-surgical symptoms, so you're not alone in dealing with this.
