It’s been 15 months since my lumpectomy and lymph node removal. I’ve been back to Pilates for 3 months now, but this week my breast scar is really sore, is it the scar tissue and muscles stretching has anyone else had this happen to them

  • It's been over 2 years since my lumpectomy and I still get sore around the scar site, especially when I do a lot with my arms. I think i is normal to have pain for years after the operation. I don't worry about it as it always coincides with when I've done a bit more, or maybe slept on it. 

    But if you are worried, you should get in touch with your BCN

  • I’m 10 months on and I get sore after yoga or Pilates if there a lot of upper body stretches.  Like Beatthebreast I don’t worry if I know I’ve pushed it a bit - my consultant warned me to be in the look out for pains that lingered consistently and didn’t have an explanation but if you are worried please call your advice line. 

  • Thankyou

    Last week was the first time ive done 2 pilates lessons in a week and we were doing more upper body stretches so it's probably that

    Thankyou
