Pain from armpit to behind nipple

Hi! For a week I've had a sort of burning pain when i stretch my arm over my head that goes from my armpit to my breast and under my nipple. Now my breast hurts to touch. At first I thought it might be muscle but it's different. It's been 2 months since i finished radiation and have had no other problems since then.
I've had a lumpectomy and then sentinel node biopsy (2 nodes, both clear).
Is this normal?? No swelling that i can see and i exercise a bit
  • Sorry to hear that @MezDiaz .  I hope you can contact your Rad onc tomorrow or breast care nurse to discuss a solution.  It could do with the surgery scarring ... but def worth a check.

    May be back off the exercise for a wee while?

    If in doubt, get checked out. Xx  all the best xx
