Breast pain years after surgery

​Five years ago, I had a lumpectomy, chemotherapy, and radiotherapy for triple-negative breast cancer. About six months ago, I was getting really concerned about ongoing pain in that breast, so I went in for a scan—thankfully, everything came back completely clear.

​Even though the scan was good, the breast is still incredibly tender and hyper-sensitive. Honestly, it’s been like this pretty much ever since my surgery and it has never really improved. Even just light friction from clothing can feel uncomfortable.

​Has anyone else dealt with this kind of chronic pain or nerve sensitivity so many years out from treatment? Did anything specific help you manage it or break down the scar tissue? I'd love to hear your experiences.
