The pain is not constant. It comes and goes many times each day. Sometimes it feels like a pulled muscle and sometimes like a nerve is being pinched. Can this be related to being right handed and using the muscles on my right side to lift, push, pull, etc? The pain is across the right side of my right breast, not at the scar sight, and occurs whether I am resting or doing something active, like playing tennis. Will this eventually stop? Is there anything else I can do to eliminate the pain?
