Scar Tissue

Hi
Has anyone else randomly had completely new systems 9 months after mastectomy. I didn’t have rads of chemo. And got mild lymphoedema. At the end of last year into this have got really sore ribs. Much worse in the evening feel like been kicked by a horse. GP wants bone scan so saw Breast surgeon who is the most in humane person in the world. She is requesting a bone scan but thinks if not it could be scar tissue sticking to my ribs. 9 months after surgery! Can that happen? Worry isn’t that it’s back just don’t want to be in pain constantly
