Pain all over radiation site

Healthy, I'll second Doxie's suggestion that you consider truncal lymphedema. Please do come join us on the lymphedema board, and here's some information about truncal lymphedema for you to consider:

It can be present before you notice any swelling, so do bring it up with your doctor, as they often don't think of it themselves. Here's information about finding a well-trained lymphedema therapist near you; any doctor on your team can write you a referral:

The good news is that, if it's lymphedema you're dealing with, the treatment is non-invasive and actually comfortable, and treatment usually eliminates both pain and heightened infection risk.

Hope you get solid answers and a "fix" real soon!

I just have to chime in here.  Unfortunately, Oncology or Radiation Drs. don't always want to talk about or consider lymphedema or radiation induce fibrosis.  These are both soft tissue problems. You have to be your own advocate. All my Drs. wanted to do was give me more pain killers.  I am 4 years out from orginal treatment and I still see a Physical Therapist.  I had 5 fields of radiation.  My radiation burns (sunburn look) actually turned up on my back too where the radiation went through from the front.  I have developed a pinched nerve in my shoulder and when the PT works on me she tells me it feels like cement! and it's right where the radiation burn was.  Look for a good Lymphedema Therapist and if you can't find one look for a Physical Therapist. My physical therapist knows about a lymphadema, but isn't trained in that area.    Call around to different places, look in the phone book if your Drs. can't recommend one, and ask if any of the therapist have worked with BC patients.  I found my own therapist and then asked for a referal.  Good luck.

I finished 6 weeks of rads about 13 months ago, on my right breast, after a lumpectomy and chemo. Rads were uneventful, no problems. No signs of lymphedema.

In last several weeks however, I noticed soreness or tenderness when I touch that breast, or roll onto it in bed. No pain from physical activity. No pain at rest. I don't remember hurting myself.

What could this be?
