Hi guys!

I had several surgeries on my right breast. I was diagnosed twice in one year with bc, which was 6 years ago. First time I had a bilateral mastectomy and recon. It came back in the right breast capsule (rare occurence), so I had 4 additional surgeries on that breast, chemo and rads.

I am now experiencing a burning pain in my right breast and that whole area hurts. I had a burning pain a year ago and went to my breast surgeon. He had an ultrasound done and nothing came up. He said it could be nerve pain from past surgeries. I'm going to make another appointment with him because it's getting worse. Also, i did some rope pulls at the gym and may have strained my chest. I've taken a break from any arm or chest exercises for the past 2 weeks, but the pain is still there. It was there before the rope pulls, just milder.

Anyone else have pain in your breast area years later? I hate going to get scans because i get the worst scanxiety! Better to be safe than sorry!
