I'm experiencing some pain in my right armpit and some googling reveals that it might be the result of post-surgery lymphatic drainage. Anything that has me feeling that my breasts are in danger feels quite troubling to me.
Has anyone else experienced this? Either after surgery or for other reasons? Thanks.

I have not, but if that is what you suspect, try massaging the area to help with drainage. If that doesn't help, get it checked by a physician. It might be swollen nodes or something they can advise on.
