Side Effects - feeling presure in your breast after BC ?
Does anyone here had have pressure sensation in your breast ?
There is a discomfort no pain just feeling like some one push you in? Anyone get this kind of symptoms ? mine come after 5 years of removal of tumour in the left breast and lumpectomy, back in 2012 never had Lymphedema.
My last test was on March 2017 and came very clean.

- @mencha168 Goodness what a weird one to have that sensation 5 years down the track, or is that normal? Who knows! When I had my mastectomy I used to describe it like someone was standing on my chest and pushing. I can only assume for me that it was the nerves settling and two years down the track they are still settling. Like you I don't have lymphedema however I do have a massage by a specialist breast care physio. I'd be asking the GP or someone just to be sure!
Take care - Hi @mencha168 I had LHS lumpectomy March followed by radiotherapy May and hormone therapy August - yes I feel a pressure sensation in the treated breast including today - is better some days and think massaging with sorbolene helps. I have also had sharpish stabbing pain occasionally but think that may be due to nerve regeneration - my medical oncologist said was normal but will discuss with breast surgeon at next appointment.Have not had lymph oedema .
- Hi @mencha168, welcome. It's good your doing well. Hopefully someone can give you some feedback. I just had a mastectomy so can't offer anything useful. Best of luck.
