Pain 2 years on

Hi Ladies, it's been 2 years since my wide local incision. Apart from the problems being on Letrozole bring, the breast has been good. Just this last week I have been having stabbing pains around the incision site. I assume it's nerve pain like when the site is healing. Has any else had this problem so far down the track?

    I had my boobs removed and I weirdly get that deep internal stabbing pain now and then ...and wonder how...the boobs not there?! Haha.   But I guess the nerves are.

    Me too Maria. Two years on and I can get random stabbing pains. I think it's just when I have the rare moments of feeling normal then I stretch, lift , move or generally do too much and it bites me. I was told normal too.

    Thanks for that, I assumed it was but I've been a bit slack with my yearly checkup and it's running 3 months late and was beginning to wonder.
