Pain months later

I was diagnosed in May and had a lumpectomy and 6 lymph nodes removed in June. I then went through 6.5 weeks of radiation which ended in mid-September. For the last week or so I have been in a lot of pain under my arm and on the side of my breast (where the lumpectomy took place). Any advice on what to do? Or why it is happening? Should I go see my doctor?

    Hi codeyee, I hope you did see a doctor and that you got some relief.  I had a lumpectomy and a shorter course of radiation, and then right when I thought my poor breast was all recovered from treatment, I got a painful infection at the treatment site, so I'm looking for information on this, too.  Knowing what's causing the pain makes it much easier to cope.
