Lumpectomy scar pain

Options

Eight years ago I had a lumpectomy for ductal carcinoma in situ. It resulted in a lot of scar tissue which has, for the last couple days, been painful to the touch and with certain movements.

Initially it felt like muscle strain which made sense because I recently started doing upper body light weights. But then it seemed to just be on the scar tissue itself. About five years ago I developed an infection in the breast with some warm swelling but that didn't feel like this.

I had a mammogram two months ago and there was nothing concerning. But the report said, as it always does, that the scar tissue makes it a hard read.
