Contact UsAbout Breast Pain
Breast surgeries, such as mastectomy and breast augmentation, can produce chronic pain as a result of a nerve injury, pinched nerve, or scar tissue from the incision area. According to the American Cancer Society, post-mastectomy pain syndrome (PMPS) develops in about 20 – 30 percent of patients; however, recent medical studies show this chronic pain occurs in as high as 50 percent. Chronic pain may appear as nerve pain in the armpit, chest, upper back, or middle back following a mastectomy or other type of breast surgery. A damaged nerve can send false signals to the brain with the brain responding with a sign of pain. Pain may persist for years if the brain is not reprogrammed to send the correct signal. Pain may include the following:
- Shooting pain
- Weakness in shoulder and arm
- Throbbing pain
- Pain in breast, arm, or shoulder
- Difficulty using the affected arm (unable to do hair or get dressed)

Pain Zero Reviews
This is my first visit it went pretty good I felt relaxed with them and it seemed like he truly really wanted to help me to get my pain in order and I'm looking forward to my next visit till I see I can see where we go next on handling my pain shook my hand very polite very good doctor
I've been coming here for 4 months now after trying to manage my back pain issues with every other treatment and medicine that my previous specialists offered from May 2022 until Nov 2023. In these 4 months I've had more improvement in mobility and pain relief than i did in all of 2022 and 2023. I've also seen a significant weight loss from being able to move better, cook my own food, and work again. Pain Zero also offer medicine when needed between procedures and more importantly they listen to the issues you're having and provide safe and effective pain relief. I wish I would have came here 2 years ago when my issues first started, but I'm thankful to have found a great doctor and pain management center now. Why I would suggest Pain Zero over a place that rhymes with Northo Oro for spine and neck issues through my personal experience. (Dr. C and his orthopedic team at "Northo Oro" are awesome!) I feel Dr Taif at Pain Zero listened to my issues and concerns with the pain and offered options he felt was best for me. I was very hesitant after many short lived & underwhelming procedures at the other places. Pain Zero offers all the same out patient surgical procedures as the bigger ortho centers. The difference in that is the big centers have around 30 people on staff and PZ has about 5. So the costs of the procedures are far less and you don't have an audience in the room either like the other place.
I really appreciate your patience and attendance that is shown with the full staff at this office. They are very attentive making sure to find out the cause of your need and I truly appreciate it.
Doctor Harris is very concerned about his patients he listens to what you have to say about your pain and health and gives very good advice on getting better
Fast efficient and with great care. Kind and respectful.
