Post op pain

I had a lumpectomy in October last year. I made a good recovery and was reassured that clear margins were taken. I’m not due a mammogram until October this year. in the past couple of weeks I’ve developed stabbing pain in my breast and I’m not sure if this is something to be worried about 

  • Hi there and thanks for the post

    I am sorry to hear about your lumpectomy last year and the recent pain you are experiencing.

    There could be a number of things causing this such as changes to hormone levels, an injury or even referred pain from somewhere else.

    If this is ongoing or getting worse we would suggest speaking with your doctor just to be on the safe side. It is unlikely to be linked to the breast cancer but it is always best to get any new niggle checked out to be sure.

    All the best
