Good afternoon all,
quick question…i have started to get sore again under my armpit in the muscle that runs down the side of my outer boob. Had surgery in this area. Was doing ok but now bit worried…real tender.
is it normal to be good for a while and then become painful again ?
i have started doing my overhead arm exercises again which i did thru my radiotherapy.
wondering if maybe that area is tightening up perhaps?
any advice most welcome … Thx 
Hi,
I’m also 3 months on from rads and over 9 from surgery. About 3-4 weeks ago my breast goy really sore, red and swollen. I had it checked by BCN who said its breast odema and referred me to lymphodema clinic and I’m still waiting from that. That hasn’t stopped the anxiety demons though!

Hiya, I wonder if it would be worth just giving your breast care nurse a call and see what she suggests. I know I was told it can take some time to fully recover from the effect of rads.

Hi had operation and rads about the same time as you. I’ve also started to get sore under arm and boob always feels sore especially at night in bed. Had thought of starting arm exercises again did this help you. When I had my checkup in August asked about tight feeling told was normal and could last quiet a long term. I’m more uncomfortable now than during treatment. Would welcome any advice
I had my post-radiotherapy check up with the consultant about 4 weeks ago and was told I’d healed well and things were looking fine, but now I’m getting pains again so paranoia is setting in! I know it’s not ominous given I’ve been blasted with RT, but going to GP this week anyway to put my mind at rest! I finished RT 9th August.
I’m 7 months after surgery and 5 since rads. I too have more discomfort now than just after treatment. My BC nurse told me that in their terms it’s still early days and not to worry. I found that comforting but I feel even better now knowing that there are others just like me!
