Re: Breast pain and strange lumps?
Hey Wheelster! Not at all happy to get a chance to pop on the site (tax credit expires tomorrow so maybe I will be able to see you guys more!) and see you are scared and worried over your painful breast. I can tell you my node bx scar under my arm and adjacent to the affected breast remains sore 2 years post surgery. It seems to be irritated by exercise and by my bra. I've cut the side of my bras down and pop those suckers off the minute I enter my house! It seems that the scar tissue is quite tight and harder at the node bx scar. I haven't noticed any changes, but it just never seems to feel particularly comfortable. I think it is as Becky says that there is a pulling and tightening of the tissue present along some scars. Perhaps your stretching and yoga pull on that taunt tissue irritating it. I hope this is one of those many things we have to live with post treatment, nothing more. Please keep us posted!
