Hi Donna
The mind is a powerful thing !
15 months after my mastectomy I am getting pains in both the existing breast and the chopped off side.
Saw my doctor this week for other reasons and mentioned the boobs. He laughed - said "that is why we tell women to check for lumps, all women get all sorts of pains all the time and they'd be heading off for tests every month".
He did, however, order an ultrasound on both side "for your peace of mind".
As Brenda said, the tests you have had can cause bruising and swelling and general aches so try not to worry too much. If the medicos thought it was urgent you'd have been in pronto and had it all removed.
Try to remain active and ignore it - and that less-than-helpful person !
Good luck and get on-line if you need to talk to others.
Summer :-)
