What have your Drs said?

What have your Drs said?  Pain lasting 2 yrs should have been checked out a long time ago.

I had read somewhere that nerve damage can caus e pain

I have had surgery before and have pain for a long time afterward so thought it was normal .

Is there any way -- You can get a 2nd opinion?

Insurance permitting - I have another Doctor take a look at me.   I realize that it is a hassle, traveling, waiting for appointment - searching for a Doctor - but, I would sleep better knowing that your pain = is pre-breast cancer surgery, etc.

Best of luck..

Wish they would X ray or something .

I would like to know why I still have pain .Can'.t tell the meloxicam is helping that much.I did change my oncologist . He said it is because of being out of balance .
