My right breast cancer surgery..mestactomy was done in Nov 2013. My post surgery half yearly check ups are regularly done. For sometime now , I feel pain, sometime tearing pain on right side of my chest. It's not severe but irritating. Is it normal to have such pain after 4 and half years of surgery? Any cause of worry/treatment? Please guide.

I am not a doctor, but you might ask if you are not using the muscles around the surgical site enough. Mine sometimes tighten up. Pain is our body's way of telling us something, hopefully something minor in your case. Get checked. You'll sleep better.
