I fell a few weeks ago now I have a dull ache on the breast where I was treated for cancer any advice

  • If it's muscle pain, then to be honest whether you've been treated for cancer or not, I think the advice would be the same, try ibruprofen gel and see if this helps at all.  

    If you've had radiotherapy to the affected breast, this does make it more sensitive with the scar tissues caused by radio.  (I had my radio. 9 years ago and it can still sometimes be painful if I lie on it a certain way), so a painkilling gel could help but to be fair, just time will be the main answer sadly.

    If you are worried about your breast and less than 5 years since your treatment, you could give your breast care nurse a call to get her advice.

    Kindest wishes, Lesley

  • I prefer the  one beginning with V . It works better for me. However in theory you need to check it against other drugs you might be taking. Keeping it moving little and often will make sure you don’t stiffen up.next time add more waterRofl
