Summary
Pain is an unpleasant sensation common to all those who undergo surgery.

The most patients define the post-operative experience as a very painful condition that interferes with normal daily activities.
Chronic post mastectomy pain is a condition characterized by pain in the anterior chest, armpit, and/or upper arm, usually ipsilateral to surgery, which begins after mastectomy or quadrantectomy and persists for longer.
