Hi, I had a lumpectomy and some lymph nodes removed in December 2021 followed by a second operation in January 2022 to remove some more tissue which tested clear.  I had 6 sessions of Radiotherapy and have been on Anastrozole ever since.  

My breast has always been a little tender but not seriously so.  Likewise I sometimes felt a small pain in my armpit but it didn't cause me any concern.  However, about three weeks ago I started getting a painful under arm which doesn't go away.  There is no swelling, lumps or redness.  When I start feeling around trying to locate the source of the pain I cannot pinpoint it. Its just always there, all over, whether something is touching it or not.

I am not sure if I should get it checked out or if it is just something that happens.

Has anyone experienced it?

    Welcome to the Community, I'm Daisy53 one of the Community Champions in the Breast Cancer Forum and the Triple Negative Breast Cancer Forum.  I also occasionally help out in some of the other forums on the Community if I can.  I suggest that you get on to your breast cancer nurse just to get it checked out for your own peace of mind.  Also if you feel up to it why not join our Breast Cancer Forum where you will get plenty of advice if you need it.  Here's the link to that forum: Breast cancer forum 

    Wishing you the best of luck whatever you decide to do.

    Best wishes
