Hi all ,
was wondering about breast pain with wearing bras.
I had my lumpectomy October 2020. Relatively pain free till now.
can’t seem to comfortably wear bra. Pulling stabbing pain under breast on chest wall. Hurts when I breathe in deeply too.
Any advice ?

Yes it is a new pain. Didn’t want to bother them. Probably trying to sweep it under the carpet.
thanks for replying.
I really feel you should contact your Breast Care Nurse and explain. She will be able to either reassure you or, more likely, give you an appt to be seen. The nurse will be able to get you an appt much quicker than the GP, I would think so that would definitely be my first call.
I very much agree with Beatthebreast
Wishing you all the best
Thankyou all for your advice.
Will contact BCN.
just want to get back to normality.
feeling very down over this but can’t ignore it.
Might be nothing, but if pain doesn't go away, you would be better/more reassured getting it checked. They won't mind at all, You're not bothering them - its their job.
