After mastectomy, chemo, radiotherapy 2 and a half years ago, still pain in arm, breast and shoulder blade. Is this normal. If it is I can cope.

    Hi Margaret22 welcome to the forum and sorry to hear how much pain that you are still experiencing.

    This could be nerve damage, or adhesions, or damage from the radiotherapy. It may be that some physio exercises might help with stretching of the arm. Does it restrict your movement of the arm at all? 

    I would be tempted to ask the GP about this just to be sure and to offer some reassurance for you.
