Scar Tissue

Hi @jenott
I had some physiotherapy  after my mastectomy and radiotherapy 4 years ago.
I had treatment by a physiotherapist who specialised in breast cancer patients and with  a combination of massage, laser and exercises I got it sorted.
I got the recommendation from my McGrath breast care nurse at the time.
I see you are in Penrith and the physio I used was in Bondi Junction so probably not convenient .
Also I saw her as a private patient.
Anyway , I mention this as it worked for me.
Also agree with other comments worth getting new and unusual aches and pains checked out as could be possibly a recurrence.

Thank you for your reply cranky_granny.

”stitch” is a good description of the pain, yes I agree it isn’t debilitating, just annoying. 

@jenott thats a good question.
I had 25 rounds of rads
 I get what feels like a stitch just under my treated breast still get them. I always put it down to moving the wrong way or having done too much lifting or stretching up, I can usually massage it away. Now though I’ve been getting it on both sides Its not debilitating but annoying and painful.  at one stage I had an uncertain area come up on a ct near my sternum and as it was tender and it could be felt. biopsy was ordered by Oncologist. Turned out to be scar tissue the Radiologist took quite a lot of it out in the biopsy as it had penetrated my chest wall. After that the bulk of the pain has gone from that area just get twinges every now and then as there is still scar tissue in there. The other thing he biopsied was my calcifying  seroma which never dissolved. Nothing has shown up in the chest area where I get the twinges
