I had to have a Bi lateral mastectomy 7 years ago. No reconstruction, chemo or radiation. I was very blessed, well, anyway, my question is....can I be suffering from scar tissue this long after my surgery date. I wasn't told to massage the area at any time. I have tight feelings across my chest area, and now in the last couple weeks, I have developed some pain around and along the bottom of my scar. I went to the chiropractor and while I was being adjusted, I had a burning pain right where the ribs meet.
