Several studies indicate that 40-60% of patients experience the post-operative experience and can be caused by both internal and external stimuli. 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 three months after surgery. It can become chronic in a broad spectrum of conditions. Psychosocial factors such as anxiety and catastrophizing are being revealed as crucial contributors to individual differences in pain processing and outcomes. Some researchers have reported the associations between the development of persistent pain catastrophizing and depression or psychological distress and reduced physical activity.
