What Causes Pain And Soreness In The Area Of Incision In Breast?
I had a breast lumpectomy about one year ago. I have started a rigorous rowing regime and experienced pain in the area of the incision (6 o clock in the right breast) that feels like a stress fracture or muscle strain. I have stopped rowing for the last week and the pain has diminished. Is it possible that this pain is related to my surgery one year ago?
Number of possibilities. these include the scar forming and tugging on the surrounding area. Also nerves are cut and can have pain from it. The type/location/other features of these conditions are quite different as are the treatments.
