Hello sisters. I would love advice. I had a dmx in June, no reconstruction, 25 rounds of radiation (all after 6 mos. of chemo). I finished radiation to my right chest... wall and mammory nodes, all up through clavicle area. Finished rads about 1 month ago. I have two spots of tenderness/pain to the touch that I noticed in the last month or so...

One area is top of my right shoulder.. bony top of it... it hurts to the touch.. no lump but very tender. Doesn't hurt of I don't touch it and doesn't interfere with mobility.


The other area is on my left side (no radiation there breast was removed). It's my upper side/upper rib towards back, not front. Area is Just behind where my drains came out but a couple inches away.. Again, hurts just to the touch.. tender...almost a bruised feeling.

Could this all be inflammation and stress on body from surgeries and treatment? Or should I be worried?

Breast surgeon said it's not a concern bc they are not in constant pain, just to the touch.

Has anyone else experienced this?

Greatful for your advice and sharing.

(TNBC thriver, Stage 2 a-b, BRCA1 positive, also just had full bilateral (BOS) Hysterectomy after ACT+CARBO chemo for 6 most total and DMX w no reconstruction- always happy to share advice)
