Pain still?

I still have pain where my intials lumps were (my breast and armpit). Its from scar tissue and what not. Its been 18 months of remission

I'm surprised I still have the pain/annoying feeling though. My breast hurts most of the month and for days now my armpit has felt like its swollen even though its not. Its an odd pain, as I don't feel like I should take Advil for it, but just a pain thats a pain the butt.

Anyone else?

Re: Pain still?

Hi jordy,

I had a very large lump in the breast/armpit region and it took quite some time for the 'phantom pain' to go away. Seems like it was a year or two for it finally to stop all together. I stillhave a 'divet' where it was although even that is starting to fill in most of the way but it's been almost 4 yrs.

And, yes, it does feel weird...and was annoying for awhile.... but was nothing to worry about.
