    I had my ductal excision Dec. 10th and have wrote on here about my concerns about my breast sinking in and bruising and was given good advice and contacted my doctor and she said it was normal and will just take some time. 

     She said that if I see redness, bleeding or oozing then get back with her well, I don't have that but I have this really bad burning feeling in my left breast and the middle of my chest...it just started a few days ago and thought nothing of it at first till it got so bad today and now I am a little worried.

    Just wondering if any of you have had this.

    no, I haven't had anything like that personally, but it's sounds like  you should definitely call your doctor and try to figure out what's causing it. Doesn't sound like it is related to the ductal excision as that was over 3 months ago.  Do you have any history of cardiac problems or hiatal hernia? I really would have it checked out as soon as possible, don't ignore it.

    Thanks for the reply. I do have a hiatal hernia no cardiac problems as I know of...had a stress test last year before surgery and no problems found.

    The burning has stopped and my left breast doesn't seem to be as swollen and tight...I knew it was swollen because my bra cup was tight where it wasn't before. 

    The burning was like from the center of the nipple and would go under my armpit and out to the outside of my breast near my chest and my breast felt heavy and I got some ease when I would raise it and hold it up....weird isn't it?

    I go to have my first mammogram after my surgery next month and I will mention all of this to my surgeon then...I have insurance but my office calls I have to pay out of pocket and these surgeons are expensive and we are on a limited income and that makes it so hard...I don't know what people do that have no insurance...my heart goes out to them.

    There is so much to worry about anymore...thanks again.
