This is an odd one. I had a SMX one year ago. All fine after treatment. The last couple of weeks I feel sore under my remaining breast. When I put a bra on it feels sore where the body strap goes. I am a 34DD so have a large remaining breast. When I lift the breast I feel relief. Also when I lay down it feels better. Could this be my remaining breast not being supported enough? I hate wearing my mastectomy bra with my falsie as it feels so uncomfortable. Had a mammogram in June and that was all clear. My consultant check around my chest wall and again all clear. Don't want to be a person who calls my breast unit for every ache and twinge.  Thanks for reading. Off to hold up my boobie 

  • Anything to see?

    No, nothing. Been sitting after my shower and no soreness but stand up and my solo boobie drops down and soreness starts up again

  • I'm guessing it's a support issue.  I'm a G cup and onky had lumpectomy but if I have a badly fitting bra on by the end of day my breasts are sore.  Is your bra loser now, is the breast all at sea in your bra.  My bra test has always been to lift my arms up to see if bra moves.  Does this work if you have SMX.  I would, for peace of mind, speak to BCN to even if she only gives bra advice xx
