Sorry to hear you have aches and pains. I had a lumpectomy and radiation back in 2003.My radiated boob was never the same afterwards.It was hard and uncomfortable but I wouldn't say painful.However,in 2010 I had more discomfort and a mammogram showed that the cancer was back and had grown to 3cms within a year.So had to have a mastectomy and now my chest feels like I have duck tape tape strapped around it.I get abit heaviness in my arm and underarm area but not what you'd call lymphoedema - or maybe it is and I'm just used to it! I have no problems with the other boob and my aches and pains are familiar not new.Are you on any medication that might cause aches?I think you are wise to get it checked out.Get your boobs checked out too.Don't wait for your "due"mammo/ultrasound cos you'll just stress.It's probably nothing but it's always hanging over our heads isn't it-you'd just like to forget about bc and get on with life.Hope you get it all sorted out soon.
