So I’ve read through numerous posts and spoken to my BC nurse and although I understand it is ’ normal’ to have some discomfort 3-4 months post- treatment, no one seems to be able to offer any advice as to how to manage the discomfort, or even when it might go.
I’m totally fed up with a very sore nipple which I’ve had for over a month now. My BC nurse doesn’t even want to see it, putting it down to late RT side effects. The only advice I’ve had was to try ibuprofen gel and/ or silk cloth in my bra. I’ve been doing the latter for weeks now but the gel had no effect. It feels rather like a paper cut- really painful but with nothing to see. It is affecting even basic things like walking, let alone my sex life! I just feel no one is interested and totally unsupported
Does anyone have any experience of this and/ or hints of how to manage this?
Advice gratefully received!
