some advice please Dear All

Its been a while since I’ve been on here but I hope you are all doing well. I finished my treastment in January, am now on the Tamoxifen and back to work! I have one problem though, I have pain/ache around the bottom of my right breast (I have a lumpectomy) and towards to back, it is really painful to touch, no bruising though. I cannot think that I have strained a muscle as I try not to lift anything heavy, also, I have started wearing a bra again so I did wonder if it could be that but I had my srugery back in July and August, does it take that long for things to knit back together? Has anyone else experienced anything else like this? I have some many things going around in my head I just wanted to know if anyone else has had this.

Take care all of you.

hi claire, don’t think i am going to be of any use to you. i had mastectomy in nov 2005 and went back to work 9 months later, i do not have any problems except i have had a frozen shoulder.
have you been doing your excecises regularly.
my mother in law has had pain due to a strain for several years now and they have tested her recently and she is ok, think she has to live with the pain.
hope you get sorted.

Hi Sharon

Thanks for that, I have been doing my exercises religiously, it feels like I have been ‘kicked’ on my shoulder blade and just down from my armpit too. Very strange. I am going to make an appointment with my GP for next week, I need to get it checked out as it is driving my crazy having all the scary thoughts going around my head.

Hope you are well.

Thanks again

i think that is a very good idea, it is always best to get it checked out i think. also do you take cod liver oil?
i know my arm/ shoulder was quite painful to lay on that side for some time, it is only now that i can lay on that side .

Hi

I take Vitamin E for the hot flushes due to the tamoxifen but other than that nothing else. I might start on the cod liver oil too.

Thanks
