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 ...
The first time I felt comfortable after lumpectomy/radiation was when a friend gave me an ah bra with no seams that I step into.If you’d like to try them they readily available Target , Kmart etc ( called a sports bra I think , my daughter likes them too ) and cheap. I bought 3 more on eBay. I still have rib pain on radiated side occasionally and is 12 months since radiotherapy - is one of the longer term side effects I wasn’t told about.
