should i be worried? hi finished rads in feb, after some infection everthing has been ok for a few weeks but now i have a niggling pain in my shoulder that i can actually feel .when i press it it feels like a bruise, do you think i should go and get it looked at or could it be just a side effect of lymph node removal and everthing coming back to life?i would appreciate any thoughts, as ive really seen enough of the docs to last me a life time!! love lynn xx

Hi
That’s weird because I have just posted about pain around my shoulder, collar and that dipped area between collar bone and shoulder. I finished my rads end of March. My area feels thicken and sore/aches, If it was a lymph node it would feel like a small pea/bean shape which may feel soft or hard. Where is your pain exactly?

hi ita weird really as its like when you are getting a boil you know the sore tight feeling but sore, its around near the back of my arm pit just under my arm pit ,i did have node clearence when i had my mastectomy,and 6 of the 12 taken were cancerous so im a little worried that its come back again. maybe it will be best if i take myself off to the doctors just to be sure. what do you think? lynn x

Hi

Snap I also had 6 lymph nodes affected. I think if it were lymph node involvement it would be around or near the lymph node scar. But it is best to always get these things checked out. Your GP won’t mind, it just that you feel like you spend your life at the doctors after a breast cancer diagnosis but that is what they are there for. Let me know what happens.

Lynn much as your sick of doctors i’d make an apt to get it checked out, or ring your breast care nurse…you know you won’t rest until you’ve had it checked…let us know how you get on.
