Does anyone have tendeness after mastectomy was 11 months ago. I have had chemo and radiotherapy too

While I don’t have the answer to your question as you haven’t had any answers yet so I thought I’d reply to you so your question will go up to the top of the discussion. Hopefully someone will be along to answer your question soon. If I were you I’d ring my breast care nurse, they may be able to answer your question.

Best wishes

Thanks   I will but it could be from

the radiotherapy and exercise I’m hoping.   Trouble is every pain is a worry after bc   
very kind of you to reply x

Hi. I’m 6 months post mastectomy radiotherapy and auxiliary clearance. My upper chest collar bone and neck are all still tender and on both sides. I’m hoping it calms down   
I am told it can take 12-18 months to settle down so I wouldn’t worry annoying as it is xx

Thank you so much.  It helps to know it’s normal 

Does yours go across both sides of chest above breasts. Mine does. My oncologist told me to not do too much exercise. I’m a swimmer and was doing back to pre cancer swimming. Too soon I’m told 

Yes by collarbone and down centre by breast bone. I have been back exercising be it with low weights but it could be that. I hadn’t been told not to exercise but I will ask.  My left shoulder is very stiff too since radiotherapy and very tight when stretching. Thanks for the reply x

I wasn’t told not to exercise but not to do 1000 meters a day. I’ve cut it right down after a week off. The week off swimming helped the tenderness 

My armpit and chest has gone tight again after the radiotherapy in Sept. Still the same now. Tightness better in the morning when I get up and gets worse during the day.
