Pain in opposite armpit

Dukip

Hi all,

I have been a member for a while, but I think this is my first post. 

I had wide local excision (lumpectomy) in October 2014, then axillary clearance in November 2014 followed by FEC-T chemo and radiotherapy along with 5 days of boost.

I developed lymphoedema in right (affected) breast straight away during radiotherapy, but in November last year my left armpit started hurting, I have been to GP (primary care in UK) twice, she referred me back to the breast surgeon who said there is no sign of recurrence - but gave me no explanation of why the pain was there.

Does anybody have any experience of this or any ideas what it could be?  I am back to GP tomorrow to see what next.

Thank you all who reply.
