I had a lumpectomy 3 weeks ago followed by masectomy 3 days later, I still have soreness especially under my arm, as I have developed a blood clot, I thought it was because the drain came out too early, but was told it is the bodies way of healing and protecting and it will reabsorb itself. Although my scan with isotope was negative before the masectomy, after  analysis under the microscope one was found to be positive, so I am going in for a 3rd operation next thursday for removal of the lymph nodes. I am concerned about the pain after, has anyone else had the same chain of surgery as me or have I been unlucky.
