Hi, I am 10 years post mastectomy/reconstruction/chemo/rad/herceptin, since the last couple months I am having a burning sensation under my silicone implant (on my chest wall), it is not constant, it is on and off, I had an ultrasound (ordered by my GP) and it can back normal.

so is anyone start having a burning sensation several years post mastectomy, is it normal?

I am seeing my oncologist only end of september

    Hi Sig...

    I am five years out with double mastectomy and had silicone implants.

    I also have ongoing pain in left breast where cancer was. Most of the time it feels like a pulled muscle around armpit and in back but if I do to much lifting it also can burn and feel like a knife is stabbing me.

    I am also going to see my oncologist and also plastic surgeon to have this checked. But I have had ongoing pain since the surgery. I cannot have any more follow up surgery because I had blood clots in my lungs after reconstruction.

    I have learned that this is an ongoing adjustment and it gets old trying to adjust to the pain.

    I hope you have found some relief.
