Hi @Stormbird63. I only had radiation in July last year, so not that long ago. I do have pain, although I had a DMX with expanders. I feel tightness in my shoulders, and actual pain in my breasts (well, the skin). And it does get worse as my Zoladex injection starts wearing off after about 21 days. That’s when my body feels like it wants to go back to having periods again, and I get PMS symptoms, one of them being very sore breasts (or skin). It’s like a dull pain, and at moments i get shooting pains too.
To me, it sounds like you’re having a very long period of PMS. When I had my own tissue, that’s exactly what my breasts felt like before my period, hard and very sore to touch. And swollen.
Are you on Tamoxifen by any chance?
If you’re thinking it might be ca related, I highly doubt that. If you’ve had radiation in the past year, I’ve read this is common.
