    Dear Kodi, have your dad discuss this symptom with his oncologist. It could be the scar tissue is irritating the nerves in his chest muscles or it could have nothing to do with the masectomy. For your own peace of mind and your dad's, don't hesitate to have it checked out by his doctors. They may be able to do something about the scar tissue anyway. Good luck.
