Underarm soreness after radiation
Can anyone explain why I have more underarm pain post radiotherapy my surgeon says that rib pain is often a "pesky" problem but to me it's more than that & it's not just ribs its also under my armpit ...

hi PamelaP it could be from where it was radiated... mine when right under my arm as I had lymph nodes with cancer on that side. I had a double mastectomy so don't wear anything but I couldn't stand anything but a soft cotton singlet against my skin and even then it was painful for months after radiation. They say that it continues after we finish our radiation for x amount of time afterwards.... I know I hated anything on my radiated area for about 18mths
