Hi Karlywarlyspider and thank you for posting.

I am sorry to learn that you needed treatment for breast cancer and that you are having pain after the surgery.

There is helpful information on the Breast Cancer Now website. Ongoing pain, is not unusual and can be a side effect lasting some time after surgery months, and possibly longer. There may be several reasons such as nerve damage.

Depending on the cause of the pain some people may benefit from being referred to a physiotherapist for specific exercises. As Jolamine has mentioned it is worth mentioning to your treatment team. If you have a specialist breast care nurse (CNS) do contact them, or perhaps speak with your GP. As they know your situation they will advise you about pain management and can refer you to a physiotherapist if necessary.

I hope you can some support with this soon.

Take care,

Jemma
