Hi , I finished radiotherapy for breast cancer lumpectomy & sentinel node biopsy in my right breast in June . I have had the sore breast , the dull aches  & the sharp pains during this time but all very manageable. But over the last 3/4 weeks the pain has been getting worse . Some days not so bad but then other days it feels like a flare up & very painful , but has been gradually getting worse over the last few weeks . This  last weekend I had a really bad time , to the point I was in tears . From the chest wall right across the breast , across the side of my ribs into my back & into the front of my shoulder . I can only describe the pain to when you’ve pulled a muscle in your back & it’s agony to move.  
I was due my 6/7 month check up with my consultant yesterday so I mentioned it to him after he checked me over . He didn’t seem interested at all . He said it was because of radiotherapy and it would get better . I told him how painful it was & it had only been the last 3/4 weeks but felt it was getting worse not better . I told him I could feel ridges under my breast & he said it was where my bra was digging in , I had to insist that my bra was digging In on that side because the breast felt swollen on that side but the ridges were there even without a bra . He looked and said he could see 2 areas of cording that would go away on their own . 
Is this amount of pain normal 5 month after radiotherapy when it wasn’t like this originally ?  I felt he was dismissing me & only interested that he had removed the tumor and the wound was healing .
