I also have pain issues with both lumpectomy scar and the port site, and am five years out. Some days are worse than others. I am headed in for a check up in a month or so and will definitely be asking about it but I think it is as the others have said, the scar tissue and nerve regeneration that can cause the pain. My breast surgeon said on one occasion that it would always have some level of pain on that side. Most of the time really not a prob. So I think you are in the same boat but of course I would ask your doc.
