I have pain and tenderness in my ribs under my breast down to my waist. Wondering if it is anything to worry about? Tried calling cancer nurses at hospital, left message - nothing. Lymphodema? Seroma?
I'm sorry to hear you recently had breast surgery and are now experiencing some pain.
It is common for people to have pain after breast surgery and often the pain that appears in the weeks or months after the operation is linked to muscle and nerve damage.
It can take time for things to calm down after an operation but in the meantime do let your specialist team know so they can check you out and make sure nothing else is going on. You can take over the counter pain medication if needed and see if this helps.
Do get back if needed or call us on 0808 800 4040 if you prefer to talk things over the phone. We're here Monday-Friday 9-5 excluding bank holidays.
