    mastectomy
    I was told that is probably the breast tissue starting to get feeling back after the mastectomy. I still get that and it has been since 3-21-11 for the mastectomy.
    Check with the Rad or the Surgeon to be sure though as my brain still may not be firing on all cylinders yet!

    had them too
    and for about 2 months or more...just lasted long enough to go arghhhhhhh and then it was gone, no warning, which was the fun part, sitting watching tv, and startle the family with an aghhhhh, it got to be comical after a while, because every time it happened (nerve endings reacting to the radiation) I would say, "what, I'm just seeing if your paying attention." sits you up straight though!

    Yes!!!! I was getting them a
    Yes!!!! I was getting them a LOT after surgery and then even more after rads. They knock the wind out of you!! I still get them every once in awhile and it's been 5 months!! Just watch that there's no extra swelling or heat because that would mean an infection. I've had 2 since rads. Congrats on being a rads grad!!

    pain after rads
    I had severe pain after rads--so bad that I had to go to the ER.
    The doc concluded (after many tests) that it was "soft tissue damage".
    The pain has gradually lessened over time. Hope yours does too!
